Verdict

Irish import ROMAN FLAME can take this maiden on her first start for Mick Quinn. She has been placed at Dundalk on her last three starts behind representatives of some of Ireland's leading stables and looks the one to beat. Verrazano could give her the most to think about unless Marco Botti's Cape Cross newcomer Always Like This proves to be something special.
