The clash between the league's two pacesetters looked set to live up to its billing, as only a single point separated the sides at the end of the first term.
But, the Burras showed the talent that has them 8-0 this season, blowing the game apart and running out 10.13 (73) to 5.8 (38) victors.
Burras coach John Delahunty said it was an "across the board team effort."
"Everyone seemed really switched on today," he said. "I just asked for each quarter they focus hard and reset at each break and the boys seemed to do that."
The Burras' unbeaten run looked under threat in the game's opening stages, as a physical Ararat applied pressure across the ground to see the sides head into the first break with an 8-7 scoreline, in favour of the hosts.
Momentum shifted as the teams took to the field for the second quarter.
Minyip-Murtoa bagged five crucial second-quarter goals to set up a 20-point lead at half-time.
Brayden Ison and Tim McIntyre were the beneficiaries of slick ball movement across the field, collecting three goals each in the game.
Delahunty said it was one of his side's better performances to date.
"We're trying to play as strong a team footy as we can and today was some of the best we've had all year. It was a really solid four quarters," he said.
The visitors were kept goalless in the third quarter, with the otherwise free-scoring Tom Mills limited to a lone goal on the day.
John Delahunty was instrumental in the Burras' defensive efforts, going on to be named his side's best.
Despite a spirited last term from the Rats, the gap was too far.
Ararat coach Shane Fisher said the loss was a chance to learn for his second-place side.
"We knew today we were coming up against a yardstick in the competition," he said. "We didn't mope about the rooms. We straight away got out the whiteboards and did some things about what we can learn from today."
"We're at the half-way mark with six and two, and I think any team in the competition would take that - we'll certainly take it."
Elsewhere, Horsham recovered from a 26-point first-quarter deficit to secure a crucial win against the Warrack Eagles.
The Warrack Eagles came out flying with an advanced Ryan McKenzie causing issues for Horsham's backline, alongside young gun Charlie Penny. The pair bagged two goals each.
The reigning premiers trailed until the third quarter when a string of 50m penalties gifted the Demons three crucial goals and a seven-point lead heading into the final term.
Horsham was too strong in the end, kicking three goals to the visitors' one in the final term, to secure an 88-70 win.
At Central Park, a seven-goal opening quarter set up a 109-41 win for Stawell against Nhill.
Dimboola let an early lead slip, going down against the Horsham Saints 79-55 at home.
