Opening Night Selections Sunday Jan 17th,2021 From Nahupicks

Rod’s Contenders
Sunday January 17th,2021

RACE 1

1) best when on the lead. That’s where he’s headed- SECOND $8.00 $5.60

4) always close. Needs a flat line though, which is iffy

6) gets Pat Berry to drive. The setup looks favorable

RACE 2

7) he has recency which is my winning factor- SECOND $2.20 $2.20

2) faced tougher lately. Inside trip has him close again

6) good form but he has to get brought up into it

RACE 3

3) tons of back class and he likes the bigger track- OFF THE BOARD

1) great form and inside post. The one to knock off

6) likes the 5/8 ovals and is always an exotics player

RACE 4

4) drops back to his favorite level. Solid play here- THIRD $2.90

1) another dropper that will stay close throughout

3) way off form but class alone puts him in the mix

RACE 5

6) new barn could be the key to form reversal-WINNER $7.30 $4.00 $3.00

3) likely fires again but needs a little more late

5) not a winning type but should play in exotics again

RACE 6

3) finishes better than these so he just has to be close-WINNER $3.50 $2.90 $4.40

2) major post relief. I’m using with my top pick

7) needs to pass some horses. Exotics only tonight

RACE 7

2) definite value of the race. He may get a pocket trip here-OFF THE BOARD

1) looks obvious from the rail. Must use all over

3) another that fits well. He needs a trip though

RACE 8

7) I like the driver change and setup chances. Take value WINNER $58.20 $18.30 $4.50

3) a player but he is a one way horse. Speed coming

5) is versatile and gets a good post. Using with others

RACE 9

6) was solid off the layoff. Expect better here-SECOND $4.00 $2.90

2) sharp form since adding lasix. No value though

1) post advantage helps. If he can finish better, watch out

RACE 10

3) I love the form and can’t go elsewhere yet. Must use- OFF THE BOARD

2) faces easier tonight. He has to avoid first over though

6) drops in class but isn’t a lock. Solid play with a setup

RACE 11

6) he’s got a start this year and makes sense to win this-WINNER $3.30 $2.20 $2.70

2) very hit or miss. Inside post certainly helps his chances

5) has the speed if he can work out a trip against tougher

RACE 12

2) he’s not supposed to get beat by any of these horses-THIRD $3.00

8) tough draw here. If close enough, he can blow by late

1) might steal a fraction with little outside speed early

RACE 13

6) crushed similar two starts back. Loving the value here-OFF THE BOARD

1) very obvious. Pocket sitter chance makes him tough

5) hasn’t won much lately but this is a nice spot to use him

RACE 14

5) the break likely helped him. He’s firing hard-OFF THE BOARD

4) very sharp since the claim. Must use once again. Value!

6) loves covered trips and he’s extremely sharp lately
