The Meadowlands has a 14-race card to complete the harness action this weekend. The 0.50 Early Pick 4 starts in Race 6. The sequence has a $50,000 guaranteed pool with a low 15% takeout, and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 6

3-Sheer Terror (9/2)-Almost beat #5 last time and that would have been the 1st win in 6 starts. Hoping the morning line is correct because there was a lot to like about the last start. Was used off the gate, then sat in a hole and closed in 26.2. Expecting a big try and will fade the 2nd program chalk #1 who is in a new barn plus is 1st time Lasix.
5-Ants Marching (7/5)-Certainly has been too strong not to include and should be as good or better on a fast track. This is a major player but have a feeling this race may not set up as well as the last two starts and could be a bigger challenge.

Race 7

1-Will The Wizard A (9/2)-Tossing the U.S. debut on 4-15 on a "good" track from post 10. Had no shot coming from last but did roll the 2nd half in 53.4. This was AMac's pick over #2, should be racing near the top of the stack and could surprise at a square price.
5-De Los Cielos Deo (6-1)-In the past 2 starts Gingras wasn't between the pipes and didn't do much albeit the last race was from post 8. Draws well, looking for a wake-up call and at a nice price.
7-Rockin The Aces (3-1)-Was beaten by a length by Chaser Hanover last time and started from the same post. That winner isn't in this group and David Miller gets the assignment as Zeron sticks with #4. Has the gate speed to leave again and try to go gate to wire.

Race 8

1-Village Jade (8-1)-This is the other Burke entry who will be steered by Joe B. and gets a post edge over its stablemate #9. This mare comes back in sequence, has enough gate speed to race near the top of the stack and could be there at the line.
5-Hot Mess Express (3-1)-Didn't do well in the Borgata Series at Yonkers but is better on a bigger oval. Has won 3 of 6 at M1 and would be tough to beat if brings its "A" game.
9-Jody (7/2)-Tried Lasix for the 1st time on 4-8, started from the rail and missed by a 1/2 length. That was the 1st start since 2-22 and raced the back half in 54.4. Has good gate speed and should land in a nice seat. Only drawback is missing a start and could be over bet.

Race 9

8-Dealyed Hanover (7/2)-The post helps the price and increases the challenge but with a smooth trip this should be the winner. Lost a photo to #10 last time and the winner was masterfully driven as Andrew McCarthy worked a 58.1 middle half. This time Dunn could pull off a winning trip.
