Top pick: #6 (CEE'S THE YEAR) - Filly finished third at Santa Anita racing on a sloppy track facing Cal-bred special weights April 13th. Career best effort came off a seven week freshening from trainer Ron Ellis and he drops her back into a $30K claimer facing "open" foes. 4-year-old ran well on a similar surface at Golden Gate Fields Feb. 26. Gets a slight edge in a competitive contest.
2nd pick: #5 (Wildakceleration) - Obvious win candidate has finished second in five of her six starts on "poly" surfaces and last out at Santa Anita she didn't seem comfortable on a sloppy track whe she was 4 1/2 back of "Cee's" at the finish. Contends today.
3rd pick: #1 (Freckles Galore) - Home-bred has some speed, the rail post, and has finished second in two of her last thrre racing at this price at Santa Anita. Bejarano stays put and this 3-year-old should be involved from gate to wire.
