  8  SA   Santa Monica Stakes (GII)

$200.000   4yo&Up F&M     7f  Dirt       123lbs  +penalties

Good to see most of the TAM jockey colony in SoCal… that seem right.  We catch a field of eight speedster spinsters ready to go seven panels on the SA main in the Santa Monica Stakes (GII).  I like Adrift At Sea as the top choice in this one.  She has won three of her last four, never seems to run a bad race and won nicely at GP taking the Sugar Swirl (GIII) last out.  The seven panels seems to be in her range as well, so… let’s dump some cash on her nose.  Right next to her, Parade Leader is another that should be tough today… she had four wins last season, but no pictures since July when she took the Victory Road (GIII) at BEL.  She has been close, including a third in the La Brea (GI) after setting the pace in that one, so count her as part of the action.
