Nadeau: Ellis Play of the Day Thurs 6.15.22
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 6/15/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Ellis Park – Race 3 |
| Race overview: | A mixed bag of 3yo claimers going 6Fs on the main track, with several coming in off poor performances, which is not the case at all for #5 ATKINS (7-2). |
| Pace: | There’s no true speedster here, though several want to be close early, so the pace appears to be honest enough. |
| Trends: | They’ve only switched to The Pea Patch for two days of racing, and Sunday was run over a very sloppy track, so let’s take a wait-and-see approach before determining how things might be playing. |
| Best Play: | #5 ATKINS (7-2): In-form runner goes off the claim for Wong, a potent 28% move, and enters off a near-miss 2nd for 40k, so the rise in class is a confident one, and either of his last two win this. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Meet/POD Stats: | ElP Meet: N/A
ElP POD: N/A
