One who expects the best to happen (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

optimist

(Other definitions for optimist that I've seen before include "Glass-half-full person" , "One expecting all to be well" , "One whose glass is half full?" , "One hopeful and confident about the future" , "Someone with a bright and hopeful nature" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
