Abu Dhabi Rose, Patrice McGillycuddy on stage last night with Daithi O Se.
KERRY-BORN Abu Dhabi Rose, Patrice McGillycuddy, is the favourite as of this afternoon (2.30pm) to win the Rose of Tralee title.
The Killorglin native is 13/8 with Paddy Power while Carlow’s Miriam Smyth is second favourite at 11/4.
Cork Rose, Anna Geary, is 4/1 followed by Kerry Rose, Mary Hickey and Leitrim’s Zara Healy at 6/1.
Over in Boylesports the story is similar with Abu Dhabi 15/8, Carlow 3/1, Cork 7/2 and Kerry 11/2.
There’s normally a flurry of activity in the bookies come late afternoon, so those odds could change dramatically in the next few hours.
