Saber’s Santa Anita analysis for Sunday
Race 1
Maiden 3-year-old fillies travel a flat mile on the grass. No. 3 Golden was a good third first out at this mile grass distance and can only move forward off of that effort. No. 6 Ivy League is the stablemate of Golden and the blinkers come off today. 6**-3
Race 2
Allowance fillies and mares go six furlongs. No. 5 Hotitude had a good last work for this race on the 4th. No. 3 Adorably gets jockey Flavien Prat back and moves back to dirt. 5-3
Race 3
Maiden 3-year-old fillies go six furlongs. No. 2 Lady Mystify just missed first out at Los Alamitos TB and now gets Prat in the irons off a big last work for this race. No. 3 Honor America exits the same last race as Lady Mystify and also had a real nice last work. No. 5 Class Reunion is a first-time starter out of the Dam Keep the Peace who has dropped 3 winners from 3 starters and we love those back-to-back five furlong works. 5***-2-3
Race 4
$20K maidens go seven furlongs. No. 6 N. K. Rocket Man gets off the grass and drops to the bottom. No. 7 Full Draw missed by a nose here back in October at this level. No. 1 Seiche has not lived up to expectations and makes his second try at this level as the connections look to dump him. 6-7-1

$62,500 optional fillies and mares go 6 1/2 furlongs on the grass. No. 2 Aqua Seaform Shame has been meeting much stronger. No. 9 An Eddie Surprise is a five-time winner on the Santa Anita grass and now gets her first start off the Peter Miller claim. 2-9
Race 6
$40K claimers go six furlongs. No. 6 Italiano just missed last out and owns a real nice last work for this race. No. 3 Self Taught will sit back off a fast early pace looking to sit and pounce. 6-3
