Verdict

ROCA ROMA signed off her 3-y-o campaign in fine style at Leopardstown and with conditions to suit returning for a yard in excellent order, she could easily pick up where she left off. 1m will probably be the optimum trip for both Starting Monday and El Padre and they complete the shortlist.

  1. ROCA ROMA (IRE)
  2. STARTING MONDAY (IRE)
  3. EL PADRE (USA)
