Flemington October 7th, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Flemington Race 8
1
Romantic Warrior $2.10
Romantic Warrior has the world at his feet!
The Acclamation gelding makes his Australian debut, and punters can’t wait to see him stretch out on the big Flemington circuit.
His international form is superior; if he is ready for a first-up tilt, this could be a demolition.
A date with Moonee Valley awaits, and I suspect he will start odds-on in the weight-for-age championship of Australasia.
Soulcombe looks the obvious danger to the favourite.
His first-up victory was eye-catching, and he was good without threatening in the Group 1 Underwood Stakes at his latest outing.
The longer trip is advantageous, and if the favourite has an off day, the talented son of Frankel can capitalise late.

I Am Unstoppable $3.40
I Am Unstoppable is knocking on the door!
Both runs this preparation have been outrageous, and his blistering late sectionals have broken all on-course clocks.
The I Am Invincible colt is ready to peak, and with even luck in transit, I expect him to prove too strong late.
The form around him is exceptional, and he looks to have the spring at his mercy.
Archo Nacho has the ‘X’ factor.
He pinched a winning break last start against a quality field, and I suspect he has further natural improvement to come.
From the middle gate, he will roll forward and pilot the field, and if he is left to his own devices on top of the speed, the race could be over at the clock tower.
The early speed battle could be his undoing.
Best Roughie - Flemington Race 7

Goldman $10.00/$3.30
Goldman looks dangerous stepping out over 2000m.
Both runs this campaign have been full of merit over unsuitable distances, and I suspect he is ready to explode third-up from a spell.
He is a winner at the track previously, and if he stays fit and sound, I expect him to be a key player in the race that stops a nation.
From barrier two, he will find the bunny and control the tempo, and if he can pinch some cheap sectionals throughout, he will look the winner as they run for the doctor.
Future History is too consistent to dismiss.
The Showcasing gelding has been going through his grades successfully during the early spring, and he deserves his shot at this level.
From barrier three, he can sit in the box seat, and if the leaders leave the kettle on during the race’s early stages, he can take advantage late.
Over the odds.
QUADDIE
Q
$72 for 100%
Goldman, Interpretation, Future History, Mostly Cloudy, Carini, and First Immortal will all be prominent in a tricky opening leg of the quaddie.
The world-class Romantic Warrior should prove too strong in the Group 1 Turnbull Stakes, while Jigsaw, Star Patrol, and C’est Magique will battle it out in the penultimate event on the program.
Tamerlane, Detonator Jack, Cotehele, or Nicolini Vito can bring it home for the punters in the lucky last!
