The recent form is mixed — a win at Sandown last time out, but before that a run of place finishes mixed with some well-beaten efforts. That seventh-place finish six races ago looks like the low point of a wobble, yet the horse bounced back to run fourth and fifth in the next two outings, then returned to winning ways. This is not a horse you'd back blindly, but it is one that rewards attention. On normal ground conditions, Rosario improves markedly, winning 2 of every 8 races, a 25 per cent win rate that stands out against its overall record. The fastest ground seems to dull the engine slightly.
Roger Teal's Lambourn yard continues to fire winners — 22 so far this season — and Rosario has been riding close to the form line when partnered with Cieren Fallon, who has steered the horse home once in six rides. That 17 per cent win rate with Fallon, though a small sample, suggests they work well together. At Class 2 level, where Rosario typically competes, the horse has won just one from 13 races, a win rate of 8 per cent, which shows how tough that company is. The back-to-back wins at Sandown and Goodwood indicate Rosario is beginning to figure out the task. Expect this horse to be seen out again soon.
