Ballarat Race 6 - Eureka Concrete
DARRA TOPAZ (3) stalked the lead and fought on well to finish 0.6 lengths away in second (25.48) at Shepparton in a Grade 5 over 450m. Boasts a strong record from this draw with four wins and two minor placings from seven starts. Bold showing expected. JEBRYNAH NITRO (4) tends to take a while to wind up, missing the placings two back but running on to last time finishing third (25.90) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Solid record at the distance winning three races. Leading chance. LANKY LARRY (7) placed when heading the market last time - cannot be ignored.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (25.90) over 450m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome. Deserves respect.

Won two starts back at Horsham over 485m in 28.01. Followed that up with a minor placing over 400m at Geelong at Grade 5 a week-and-a-half ago. Has ability and can run well.
