Misses could make assertion (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

senoritas

'misses' is the definition.
('senorita' is 'miss' in Spanish)

'make assertion' is the wordplay.
'make' is an anagram indicator.
'assertion' is an anagram of 'SENORITAS'.

'could' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
