Verdict

FORT ROCK has to concede weight to several interesting types but this well-bred colt made the perfect start to his career here 3 weeks ago and with improvement likely, he may well be up to the job. Go Rimbaud and Poetry of Time head the dangers, though Alma de Fuego could be a different proposition this time.
