Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Sun 2.19.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 2/19/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Gulfstream Park – Race 3 |
| Race overview: | A modest 8k N2L routing on the Tapeta, with a few sketchy proven runners, which means the class riser #9 BELLA MIURA (4-1) has a big chance to win right back. |
| Pace: | Expect a bunched group, as there’s not a ton of true early speed. |
| Trends: | Stalker/closers have been the way to go routing on Tapeta, as horses in front early—no matter how slow they go—have trouble lasting late. |
| Best Play: | #9 BELLA MIURA (4-1): Rousing MCL winner put forth an effort that kind of came from nowhere, but it was visually impressive and a true breakthrough, so on the rise against a group like this, she should hit hard right back. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4. |
| Meet/POD Stats: | GP Champ. Meet: 301-62-52-57 ($1.48/$4.78 ROI through 2/5)
GP Champ. Meet POD: 30-9-7-7 ($1.83/$5.96 through 2/5)
