Lucky Street was super in the Summer Scorcher after drawing wide, working forwards, settling 3 deep with cover and then peeling out 4 wide before the home corner to make a run at Sheidel and almost nabbing her on the line. The difference in this race is Paul Harvey taking over from Shaun McGruddy and the fact there is no other noted leader in the race which should ensure The Pontiff takes up the running and leads them. Once he finds the fence he will be incredibly hard to run down. Meets a galloper like Silverstream 2kg better at the weights for a tiny margin a few starts back and is undefeated at 1100m and practically undefeated when able to lead. The only real danger looks to be First Among Equals, a highly talented galloper who was also excellent in the Summer Scorcher. Worked into clear running after settling 3 back the fence and attacked the line suggesting 1100m second-up would be his go. Minor end of a very popular exacta. Rock Magic is severely hampered at the weights scale forced to carry 5kg more than any other runner. Big respect for any top 4 finish by him.
