ROSE RANSOM left her previous form behind when scoring by 10 lengths over 1m3f here on her second start for Mark Johnston. She's hard to get away from under a 6lb penalty and gets the nod. Masaadr should improve for today's longer trip and is less exposed than the rest of the opposition including Crystal Peaks, who has looked in the handicapper's grip since scoring at Wolverhampton in November but is still preferred to Rosie Future and Silk Scarf.
