Most of these are old rivals and Yako beat several of today’s opposition when scoring here last month. But he’s drawn out wide today and has subsequently finished behind Bahama Kitten and Trilby over track and trip when the latter pair filled the places. RETRO STREET was behind Yako last time but was drawn on the outside on that occasion and failed to get a clear run. He gets another chance with Bob Hess’s yard in flying form. Sweet Story was expected to finish closer from a more favourable draw behind Bahama Kitten last time but found little in the homestretch.
