Yako drifted into several rivals in the homestretch before passing the post first here last time and was subsequently disqualified. She finished ahead of several of these on that occasion including Trilby but was beaten by AVENIDA MANANA here at the end of last year. The latter has landed a hat-trick since and given Bob Hess’ progressive filly has also beaten the likes of Isadorable Aida and Sweet Story, she gets the nod to continue winning ways.
