Landsighting picked a biggie for his first weight-for-age success and notwithstanding that he was at $21, last year's Stradbroke hero and Epsom Handicap runner-up had given clues that he could become a force in wfa events up to around a mile, if Noel Mayfield-Smith could manage to keep the Grosvenor grandson's leg problems behind him. Corey Brown - who partnered Referral to win in 1999 - positioned the winner in sixth near the fence and always had the leaders covered once in the clear, easily arriving home in advance of Shogun Lodge, who flashed up late under Glen Boss. Last year's Rosehill Guineas third Crawl also hit the line extremely hard to finish third, cutting down the ever-brave Adam right on the line. Otaki Maori Stakes-Gr.1 winner Star Satire finished closest of the four three-year-olds in fifth place, just in front of Show a Heart. Mr Murphy failed again the Sydney way and Assertive Lad was never in the hunt after a slow takeoff. Mossman, third in 1999, the only 3yo to place since that group raised 1.5kg when the wfa scale was adjusted. Landsighting was bred by Kilora Stud owners Dr Bill and Jennifer Riches, and is from a half-sister to 1990 Stradbroke winner Plush Embassy. Political Asylum is in foal to Favorite Trick.
