Richmond Race 1 - Bistro Open For Dinner
FLORIDA LINE (1) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Maybe Next Week (18.61) in a Free For All. Stalked the pace but found the line strongly. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Can find winning form. SNOWY RULES (2) was narrowly beaten when placing two back but missed the frame latest finishing seventh (19.59) in a Grade 3/4 at Bulli. Key player on best and worth another try. CONFECTIONERY (5) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 2.25 lengths at this track in a handy 18.47 beating Calla Tilly. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Has definite claims. BUGATTI RICO (3) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Didn't make the placings last time at Bulli (19.59) in a Grade 3/4, finishing a 5 length seventh. Has two successes and three minors from eight starts from box 2. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.
