After the main track remained dry despite storms in the area for the card’s first three dirt races, the deluge came midday and left the oval on the sloppier side of muddy for the juvenile-filly feature. Comical, a six-length debut winner May 26 at Santa Anita to earn her ‘Rising Star’ badge, was made the public’s second choice as late money poured in on her stablemate Shippy (Midshipman). Away in good order, the $100,000 KEESEP grad was scrubbed on early by Javier Castellano to track longshot leader Integral (Algorithms) from second through a :22.54 quarter. Kiss the Girl, a clear third favorite, was one spot further back while Shippy was being driven to keep up along the rail. Integral briefly looked as though she’d get away from her pursuers at around the five-sixteenths pole, but was collared by Comical soon after straightening for home. Shippy, who appeared to be in deep water on the turn, found her best stride along the rail and moved into contention a furlong from home.
