Top pick: #1a (VESPER) - Part of a Mike Gill/Tim Hooper entry, and it's more than likely that only one will start. Filly won two back fresh off a claim, and then raced evenly last out for twice this price. Late runner drops in half for today's run.
2nd pick: #1 (Itscryptotonight) - The second Gill entrant was claimed on Dec. 29 by trainer Tim Hooper. Freshened-up since, she was in the best form of her career at that time. New trainer is 21% with fresh buys.
3rd pick: #4 (T's Awesome Crypto) - She finished second last out at this level in her second back off almost a two-month layoff. Figures are a bit light, but she should improve a bit more today.
4th pick: #2 (Abulletforfrank) - Claimed two back by Richard Vega, her new trainer immediately gave her a seven-week break, and the move paid off with a win here on Jan. 16. Speed/stalker draws the rail and moves up slightly in price. Contender.
