STREET OF DREAMS HAS EYES ON COMMITTEE'S PRIZE

Golden Monkey, Invincible Tycoon and Dream Alliance are threats on trackwork

- Brian Miller

Beaten into fourth spot in a Class 1 sprint on Jan 20 after having to take the scenic route home.

Second in the Group 3 Fortune Bowl on Feb 11 after having traffic problems in the home stretch.

Those are just two of the bumps Street Of Dreams faced at his most racing runs.

And that was after a lengthy break, having had his last race on May 20, when beaten out of sight by Lim's Kosciuszko in the $1 million Group 1 Kranji Mile.

Yes, it has not been an easy road for Street Of Dreams - and the five-year-old deserves better.

Could all of that change when he lines up for the Group 3 Committee's Prize on March 9?

Well, the signs are positive.

Street Of Dreams had a good trial on Feb 27 when second to Mr Black Back.

That day, when ridden by apprentice Sazali Ramli, he was beaten but not bruised.

Indeed, he clocked an impressive 59.98sec for the Polytrack 1,000m hit-out.

Not many gallopers go under the minute mark at these trials, so hats off to this son of Dundeel.

And, as if to show that it was not a flash in the pan, Ronnie Stewart brought Street Of Dreams out for a spot of work on March 5 and his mount did not put a hoof wrong when running the 600m in 36.9sec.
