ROSARIO's slow-starting tendencies remain a concern but he's been shaping up nicely of late and in the hope he gets a good pace to aim it, he can cash in on what is undoubtedly a good mark. If the headgear works again, Venture Capital is a huge threat, with Vintage Clarets completing the shortlist.
