Has ability and can measure up. BILLIES RAINBOW (8) was out of the placings last time when eighth at this track (26.35) but scored four back at Bendigo (24.46). Can do much better this time.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (17.08) at Healesville over 300m. The form from last run stacks up well. Hard to beat.
