Race preview
DARK STREET, whose two wins to date have come over course and distance, can record a third success. The Luke Comer-trained gelding, who got up close home to win here last month, is only a pound higher once taking his jockeys' claim into account. In fact, the five-year-old races off an identical mark to that from which he won his first race. Sioux Princess also won on her most recent visit to this track but that was over an additional furlong and a half. James Ryan, who was on board when the Michael O'Callaghan-trained filly won last time retains the ride here. Neverfindanother U has been below her best of late but would be a serious threat if returning to the form which saw her win here in March. Robert Whearty is a significant booking in a race restricted to apprentices.
