Forecasts

Flicker Flame (7/2), Bercasa (7/2), The Last Indian (4/1), Monaco Rose (4/1), Upgraded (6/1), Elm Grove (6/1), Echo Park (10/1)

The Joseph O'Brien-trained, FLICKER FLAME can turn the table on the improving Monaco Rose as the two clash again. The Born To Sea mare meets her opponent on better terms and can land the spoils at the expense of her biggest rival and Roscommon second, The Last Indian.
