The Meadowlands has a 14-race card scheduled with the 0.50 Early Pick 4 starting in Race 6. The sequence has a $50,000 guaranteed pool with a 15% takeout, and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 6 (8:25 PM EST)

1-Talk Curdy To Me (3-1)-Came 1st over into a 27.2 third quarter and couldn't make up ground to catch Racine Bell. But it was an impressive try considering that was only the 2nd start here. Should be better this time, may get the pocket behind the Beach Cowgirl and post a trip out win.
5-Beach Cowgirl (8/5)-Got a beautiful trip and was a game 2nd to the classy Racine Bell. Doesn't have to worry about her tonight. Will be a short price and is a logical contender, but not sure she can win going gate to wire.

Race 7 (8:50 PM EST)

2-As Always (8-1)-Drops and ships in from Philly to get on the big track. Does good work at M1 (42-6-3-11) and has shown the ability to carry his speed on a larger oval. Should be worth using at close to the morning line price.
7-San Domino A (3-1)-Came off the bench on 12-2 from the 9-hole and raced well. Got on the point, stayed inside to cash a 3rd place check and now drops. That was a quick mile as the winner went in 150.2 and the Burke trainee could be better tonight.
8-Building Boost (4-1)-This is the 3rd start for the Harmon barn and comes off a sharp effort to just miss at this level. The post helps the price and could be ready to connect at a nice mutuel.

Race 8 (9:15 PM EST)

3-Lexus Kody (5-1)-Broke stride in its last 2 races and then qualified with a sharp 152.2 score to win by over 8 lengths at M1 on 12-2. Simply put, if Gingras can hold this 5-year-old together he is a major player. The Burke trainee's M1 record is a very respectable (10-5-2-0).
7-Toccoa Falls (3-1)-Per Engblom's entry is the tepid program chalk and warrants the status but she likes to take some bad steps as well. Just missed last time and should be bet here. Like the one above, could be a flat trip away from a picture.

Race 9 (9:40 PM EST)

3-Bettor Not Talk (8-1)-Made short work of the NW7500L4 drawing off by over 6 lengths and then took a double bump up. The last start ended with a 5th place check and now lands in a more competitive level.
6-Colossal Stride A (5-1)-The veteran likes M1 (21-6-6-4) and steps-up after winning on 12-2. Should fit with this crew and has the gate speed to take control early on, similar to the last race.
8-Kolby Two Step (9/2)-Comes back to the Big M and lands in a picture taking spot. David Miller needs to work a smooth trip and has the speed to win even with the outside draw.
