Make It Sweet and I Am The Empire to battle for the leading role. Tough race. BLUESTONE (6) continues to race very well, just finding one better at his past three starts. He hit the line strongly last start at Sandown Hillside off a solid tempo, just out-bobbed by the winner who came off his back. Open to further improvement for the yard who can handle these young stayers well. JENNIVAMOOSE (11) did beat Bluestone two back at Sandown Hillside, sprinting best off a slow tempo there. She was solid in the same race last time and should be competitive again. DICTIONARY (5) is a tricky one to line up, beating Jimmy The Bear at Caulfield last start. That's good form but the runner-up there clearly didn't stay the trip. His previous form has him in the mix. FLAMIN' ROMANS (2) was a smart winner when last seen 42 days ago and this trip is no issue. I AM THE EMPIRE (3) led at a solid gallop and proved too strong last start. Can give a sight again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bluestone on top.
