Go Cocktails! You alcoholic horse \u00a0 Movieland Turf Express Handicap<\/SPAN><\/B> \u00a0 1. Digital Overture <\/B>– Based on the game dam ‘Stealth Overture’, this colt has a similar name.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In career best form, the colt that I like to call ‘Digi-O’ has passed the post first in 7 of its 13 outings.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>If conditions suit, Digi-O could finish right up the top or even down the bottom or maybe even somewhere in the middle.<\/P> \u00a0 2. Secretariat’s War <\/B>\u00a0<\/SPAN>– This 4 year old colt looks to be lacking what I call ‘balls’.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He has come to mix it with the best but poor recent form could see him struggle to finish top 3.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>At 9\/1, I think the bookies will be laughing.<\/P> \u00a0 3. Classicus<\/B> – The owner clmstable <\/I>has been very tricky here by forming the name ‘Classicus’<\/B> out of its sire ‘Sky Classic’ and damsire ‘Pentelicus’, get it? Classi-cus.<\/P> \u00a0 4. Cocktails <\/B>– At 8\/1 we could see the next winner of the Movieland Handicap.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Cocktails is one of my favourites and has shown consistent form both as an experienced 5 year old horse and as a movie starring Tom Cruise.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Carryall<\/I> would have to be happy with the 9 career wins for this horse and if not then may be taking little Cocktails <\/B>for granted.<\/P> \u00a0 5. Scarce Gold<\/B> – Ignore his flop 2 starts ago because this 4 year old boom colt looks extremely dangerous.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Scarce Gold <\/B>has shown he has the staying potential when holding off a strong field in his last outing.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Gold may not be so scarce in California this week for unsunghero<\/I>.<\/P> \u00a0 6. Crimsonite<\/B> – This colt is light grey and that should be enough to get him a top 3 position.<\/P> \u00a0 7. Smart Canadian<\/B> – When I first saw the odds of 84\/1, I laughed.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It was only until I saw the horses recent record that I stopped laughing and thought that maybe the owner had a disability.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The name ‘Smart Canadian’ doesn’t even agree with itself, just as I don’t agree with filling class races with 2nd rate horses.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Good luck anyway chasitey72, <\/I>I’m sure you’re a nice person.<\/P> \u00a0 8. Well Meant <\/B>– Although this boom 3 yr old colt has slightly lower speeds than the favourites, he has shown a lot of heart with a couple of recent wins.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>If I was called “Well Meant” then I would be absolutely furious with my parents but that has little relevance to the race.<\/P> \u00a0 9.<\/B> Offstage(GB)<\/B> – Just coz they won the Ashes, it is unlucky that the Pommy will get up here.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A non-winner from his last 4 starts suggests that he could struggle against an in-form field.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>11\/1 may be a little generous but clmstable<\/I> has his second horse in this race still running over 100.<\/P> \u00a0 10<\/B>. Khee’s Heir<\/B> – This colt has had an up-and-down year this year, and looks to be slightly out of the class of this race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>2 Thumbs up to peeps1<\/I> for giving it every chance at graded stakes success but a thumbs down if he thinks it stands a chance.<\/P> \u00a0 11<\/B>. In the evening<\/B> – This colt will start favourite at 9\/2 and steps down a couple of levels in class.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Running a top horse back-to-back is something I’d do if I was wanting to injure one of my claimers but duke<\/I> is taking the chance here.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I’m glad there’s only 3 horses left.<\/P> \u00a0 12<\/B>. CJ Unbridled<\/B> – cjwalker <\/I>has arrogantly named the colt after himself.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This chestnut colt ironically has a chest and nuts and will unlikely add to his 2 career wins.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Still I believe in giving a horse a chance at the top, and I also like the fact that “walker” is in the owners name because it is like Walker Texas Ranger and if Chuck Norris could provide a cameo in this race then it would definitely add a bit of excitement.<\/P> \u00a0 13<\/B>. Stolen(IRE)<\/B> – After a 2 month lay off, this is my pick of the race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A colt by Montjeu, Stolen<\/B> is looking to give the irish something other than a gay accent.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Ignore his last off track run, Stolen will improve on his best s.p of 105.<\/P> \u00a0 14<\/B>. Magpie in the Sand<\/B> – Although at 7\/1, poor recent form will see this Magpie struggling to come to grips with the requirements of being graded stakes horse.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Just outside a top 3 finish is most likely for owner gcphantom3.<\/I><\/P> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Must-See Grade III<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":202,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/202"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1241"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1241\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
