STAR RISE

PUISSANCE DE LUNE was born in Ireland and started his racing career in France that trained by D De Watrigant with 1 win and 2 seconds in 4 starts. He was sold to Australia and joined Darren Weir’s yard to win 2 G2 events and listed contest including Bendigo Cup and 2600M G3 Queen Elizabeth Stakes in final day at Melbourne Carnival. The grey colt recorded 8 wins, 5 seconds and 3 thirds in 22 starts, winning distance from 1400M to 2600M while he was place-getters in two G1 Makybe Diva Stakes, two Turnbull Stakes and Memise Stakes. The son of SHAMADAL joined the stallion roaster of Swettenham Stud with 6 black type contest winners. His fee in 2024 is AUD$ 8,800. STAR RISE was formerly known as NAUGHTY BENNIE and trained by Clinton McDonald in Australia with 2 wins and 1 second in 3 starts with crossed nose band and tongue tie. After 2 jump-out sections, he settled at rear on his debut in a 1200M event and dashed well mid-track to win at Moe, then did best work late when in clear and just failed for a 2nd in a 1200M contest at Cranbourne while he won with something in hand in a 1200M race by settled midfield at Pakenham. Same sire runners in HK both tasted success. The Australian import showed strong dash that should be fine to handle up to 1400M and fine at the city track.
