Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. RISE TO POWER (2) needed the experience in his only run as a juvenile when finishing third at Woodville. He would have matured since that opener, and his breeding suggests that he will be targeting some richer options through the spring. THE QUEEN'S SWORD (5) made an encouraging start to her career when finishing a sound runner-up in her only appearance to date. She has the pole position, and with a couple of trials under her belt, she will be ready to rumble. RIP TIDE (4) has been showing plenty of promise at the trials, and Craig Grylls has stuck with him through his education. He has some breeding to live up to, and is sure to have plenty of market support. VIA FONTANELLA (6) is not to be underestimated fresh up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rise To Power each way in a very competitive contest.
