Richmond Race 1

Bistro Open For Dinner Maiden

Stake: $1,969

MONTANA BANNER (1) turned in a plain performance last time when sixth at this track over 401m behind Who's On Shift (23.71) in a Maiden. Has claims if she runs up to expectations. BUSY GOING (8) is still a maiden after 12 runs but rarely far away, the latest filling a minor placing when second at this track. Has placed at her last two starts now. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Well placed and gets her chance. BILLY RAY'S GIRL (5) jumped from the squeeze on debut and finished midfield at this track over 320m (19.05). Much improved and rates a winning chance. VILLAGE GIRL (3) was in the money last start and wasn't beaten far - poses a threat again.

Has ability but remains a maiden after three starts, the most recent effort a sixth (20.47) over 340m at Bulli. Rarely out of the placings off this draw. Can sneak into the finish.

Ran a solid race on debut when settled well off the lead early but got home well to finish fifth (19.05) at this track over 320m. Should be further improved. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.
