Balanced and ready for action (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

poised

(Other definitions for poised that I've seen before include "Elegant, self assured" , "Graceful" , "Composed and self-assured" , "Ready for action or self-assured" , "Balanced or braced" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
