There is plenty of great horse racing action to look forward to across America on Saturday, including at Santa Anita. Here are five runners whom we think look to be a class above the opposition in their respective races. Let’s dive and take a look at some potentially lucrative plays.

6:48 pm Santa Anita (Race 6) – Sweet Sonny +180

Delivered some solid maiden claiming efforts of late including when finishing third, beaten three-quarters-of-a-length under this promising apprentice in a six furlong event here earlier this month. Usually races prominently including when trying to make all here last time and looks capable of getting off the mark in this event.

7:52 pm Santa Anita (Race 8) – Soothsay -125

Winner of both previous starts including when delivering a half-length victory in the Grade 2 Santa Anita Stakes over this course and distance at the start of last month. Looks up to maintaining her unbeaten record and providing trainer Richard Mandella with a second victory in the race.

8:26 pm Santa Anita (Race 9) – Fly To Mars +250

Return to claiming company appeared to suit when winning by two lengths in a mile turf event here back in February. Runner-up when beaten by a nose over the same course and distance subsequently but looks up to returning to winning ways switched to an allowance optional claimer.
