Roses set to be leading lady

ROSES For The Lady may not quite have rediscovered the form of last year so far in 2010, but a bold bid looks assured in the DFS Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster today.

The four-year-old only won once last season but she ran the race of her life to finish second to Sariska in the Irish Oaks on bottomless ground at the Curragh.

After what was a gruelling contest, John Oxx sensibly gave his filly the rest of the year off and she looked set for a big season when impressing on her reappearance in Listed company at Navan back in April.
