Genuine tempo with No Drama and Mogo Magic up front. FIRST LANDING (10) slow into stride and launched late with a respectable seventh over 1200m at Randwick in Highway class. Looks up this stiffer contest with the big weight drop, third-up. Placed at this level last time in and shapes as the value play in the race. MOGO MAGIC (2) kept fresh after failing to run the 1550m out when a tiring ninth at Canterbury on December 12. Blinkers go on and will give them something to catch with Stanley's 3kg claim. Each way. MAILATA (8) frustrating gelding who gets the addition of blinkers for the first time here. Can sit off the good tempo and execute late with Nock's claim. HUON (5) holding his form and gets a much better set up today from the low gate. Worth thought. HANAU (4) good second-up performer who will be strong late. SUGGESTED PLAY: First Landing each way.
