The Meadowlands has a 14-race card set to go this evening. The 0.50 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 10. The races are a challenge but could offer a solid return. The sequence has a $50,000 guaranteed pool, and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 10

4-Weslynn Quest (9/2)-This mare is 0-17 at the Big M and that isn't usually by coincidence. But will use in the 2nd race for her new barn and the last start was an improvement. Has been facing much better so will look for the upswing to continue at a square price.
6-Southwind Tyrion (5/2)-Svanstedt pupil has missed a lot of time over the past 2 years. Seemed to be rounding back into sharp form but hasn't raced since 9-10. Rolled the back-half at PcD in 55.2 during a qualifier on 10-19 and will use off that tune-up.
8-Yanks Dugout (5-1)-Qualifier in the slop at Nfld on 10-26 was good and had been on the bench since 9-18. Ron Burke usually sends them out ready and this 5-year-old has shown 151-152 speed here and has a fine record at M1 (9-3-4-0).

Race 11

3-Crunch Time A (3-1)-Aussie bred makes its Big M debut and comes off a sharp qualifier in 153.2 with a 55.3 back-half. Looks worthy of a swing and it will be 1st time Lasix.
4-Mr DS Rock (5-1)-David Miller takes a seat and this Travis Alexander entry may have dropped enough to wake-up. Did post a 149.2 mark here last year and has 2 wins in 7 starts on this oval.
5-Codys Knapsack (8-1)-Gingras sticks with Burke and this 3-year-old has 2 wins in 3 M1 races. Has the speed to beat this crew but will need to mind matters.

Race 12

1-Captain Batboy (5-1)-Was facing some tough customers at Mohawk and should be tighter after a needed start on 10-27. Did beat the morning line choice (4) at the end of July and usual pilot Tim Tetrick returns tonight.
4-Goldin Greatness (8/5)-The Dunn-Ryder combo along with facing easier gets this 2-year-old 8/5 favoritism. Can close in a hurry, has never missed the board here and the short field should help chances.
5-Loubet (9/5)- It's tough to split these 2-year-olds and this Sweet Lou colt has been showing nice improvement in recent starts. Came the back-half in 55.2 on 10-27 in a 2-year-old non betting race so should be okay on this oval. Gingras could be out and rolling looking to make every call a winning one.

Race 13

7-Bounty Hunter (5/2)-Has been facing tough competition all year and should relish the company. Comes in off a needed races at Philly and has hit the board in both M1 starts. Tonight, could be the time for an East Rutherford picture and Andrew McCarthy taking the lines should help the cause.

0.50 Late Pick 4
