Santa Anita Picks & Predictions — May 29, 2026

Rollinwithpolan is Joker Went Wild's stablemate under the same O'Neill barn, carrying a 72.83 rating and an impressive 33% career win rate. Emisael Jaramillo gets the call, and that career win percentage is one of the highest in today's entire card — this horse knows how to finish. At 6/5 morning line, he'll likely be well-backed, but he's a strong exacta partner with his barnmate.

One Step Beyond is the longshot play here at 12/1 on the morning line, but his 61.77 rating — third-best in the field — makes him worth a look as a show play or trifecta fill. Ali Husain rides for Jorge Periban, and in a race where the two favorites may push each other hard up front, a closer profile could benefit. Don't invest heavily, but he's not without merit in the exotics.

Sagunto is the morning-line second choice at 2/1 with a 61.25 rating, and he's one of only two horses in this field who has flashed an average speed figure of 56 — suggesting he's been working sharply. Ryan Hanson sends him out with Edwin Maldonado aboard, and this horse figures to be competitive at or near the front end of the pace. He's the logical exacta partner if you're keying Quality Gold.

Fair Question at 5/2 checks in at 57.5 on our ratings with another 56 average speed figure — matching Sagunto's best measured work. Brian Koriner has been patient with this one, and Armando Ayuso knows this track well. In a wide-open maiden claimer, Fair Question provides a dependable third option to round out your trifecta tickets.

Holdthatrainbow is an eye-catching entry at even money on the morning line, boasting a perfect 100% career win rate — though that figure must come from a very limited sample. Carla Gaines trains her with Juan Hernandez up, and a 60.0 rating with a 56 average speed figure keeps her firmly in the picture. She should press or stalk the pace and could absolutely run Goje down if anything goes wrong at the front.

What's a Good Name brings Joel Rosario — one of the top riders in the country — and a 25% career win rate to a spot where she's been installed as the 5/2 morning-line third choice. Peter Miller runs a tight operation, and a 51.94 rating with a 56 average speed figure shows she can produce sharp efforts on the lawn. At that price, she's the right show selection to round out your ticket.

Danzing Wild Cat rates at 59.49, second-best in the field, and Juan Hernandez gets the mount for trainer Brendan Galvin. His 55 average speed figure matches several others in here, but the rating advantage over the rest of the non-Proud Racer field is meaningful. At 3/1 morning line, he's the most logical exacta partner and should comfortably hold second if the favorite runs to his number.

Ride the Tiger checks in at a 55.0 rating with a 55 average speed, and Brian Koriner has him priced at 4/1 on the morning line. Armando Ayuso takes the mount — a competent rider who can get horses positioned well in sprint races. In a field where several entrants are lightly raced or unproven, Ride the Tiger's profile makes him a reasonable show play and trifecta piece.

Savage Warden is the other standout with an 84.1 rating and a jaw-dropping 50% career win rate — this horse closes the deal when he's right. Philip D'Amato is one of the best turf trainers in the country, and Antonio Fresu is a capable partner on the lawn. At 4/1 morning line, Savage Warden offers better value than the favorite while posting nearly comparable numbers, making him a strong exacta play.

Sneaking Candy slots in at 67.25 on our ratings with a 33% career win rate — both figures that stand out in this field outside the top two. Mike Puype sends her out with Armando Ayuso, and at 7/2 morning line she looks like the most natural bridge between the top pair and the rest of the pack. She fills out your trifecta tickets nicely and could easily outperform her morning line.

Our Moonlight rates at 81.46 — second in the field — and comes in at 3/1 morning line for trainer Dean Pederson with Tiago Josue Pereira up. His 55 average speed figure is right in the mix, and a 14% career win rate in what projects to be a competitive field shows he's been knocking on the door. If A. Z. Wildcat runs her number, Our Moonlight should be right there collecting.

Lubie's Music checks in at 69.64 on our ratings for Richard Mandella — one of the most respected barns in California — with Antonio Fresu in the tack. A 33% career win rate is among the best in this field, and Mandella horses at this level tend to fire when pointed at a spot. At 5/1 morning line, she's the right show selection and a live trifecta piece.

Humidity is a close second at 85.62 on our ratings — essentially a near-dead-heat at the top — and is installed as the 6/5 morning-line favorite, meaning the public is split from our top pick. Patrick Gallagher has her ready for Hector Isaac Berrios, and her 54 average speed figure is respectable. Whether she's first or second, Humidity belongs in every exacta combination you write in this race.

Intuitivebynature comes in at 54.17 — third-best rating in the entire 11-horse field — for trainer Dean Pederson with Welfin Orantes up. At 9/2 morning line, she's a perfectly priced show bet and trifecta element in a race where the two favorites should dominate but the third spot is genuinely up for grabs. She's a solid bridge between the top pair and the longshot chaos below.
