SA 8 (California Distaff Handicap, 5.5T)
Primary – #5 FANTASY HEAT, #4 Just Grazed Me
Secondary – #3 Althea Gibson, #6 Gypsy Blu
Wagers: #5 to win, Exacta 3-5/3-4-5, Trifecta 3-4-5/3-4-5/6
Comments: #5 Fantasy Heat (3-1) exits back-to-back runner-up finishes and occupied that same spot in the Camilla Urso Stakes May 30. She won three races last year and should be in the thick of things throughout. #4 Just Grazed Me (6-5) won this race last year and followed that up with a victory in the Senator Ken Maddy (G3). She began 2020 with a runner-up finish in the Sunshine Millions F&M Turf Sprint, and was out of the trifecta in her last two stakes tries including the Monrovia (G2) May 25. She might be classier than these. Her stablemate #3 Althea Gibson (8-1) finished 1-2 in all four starts and exits back-to-back wins vs. lesser. I don’t know if she is this good but she still has upside. #6 Gypsy Blu (7-2) has dropped nine straight and ended up hitting the board in five of those races. She really misses the downhill course.
