Rosanna is lady in red-hot position to take Miss World title

IRELAND’S Rosanna Davison remains the 4-1 hot favourite to triumph at tonight’s Miss World final in China.

The 19-year-old daughter of singer Chris De Burgh has been the subject of sustained betting which has seen her odds cut from 10-1 to 4-1 in the past few days. Other hotly tipped contenders include Miss China, Miss Norway, Miss Canada, Miss Venezuela, Miss Georgia and Miss South Africa.

Ladbrokes UK spokesman Warren Lush said yesterday: "Being Chris De Burgh's daughter must help Miss Ireland. The question many are asking is whether she'll be a lady in red. Rosanna has been the subject of the biggest gamble in recent years and we'll be in the red if she triumphs."
