The Meadows has a Friday evening 13-race card ready to roll featuring Pennsylvania breds. The headliner goes in Race 8 when a field of 7 two-year-old fillies battle in the Meadow Cheer for a share of a $89,516 purse. The 0.50 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 10, and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 10 (7:52 PM EST)

2-Country Dancing (5-1)-Willing to take a swing after not the best of trips in last and the switch to Chris Lems should help the price. Looking for an aggressive start and to be on the point or in the pocket. Should be in the hunt and would use in exactas as well.
7-Odss On Aces Full (9/5)-Comes off a nice effort to win. Using but will likely be bet down and this will be its Meadows debut. Even if the Tony Algana pupil doesn't leave hard, Yannick Gingras should be in position to catch the leaders and roll by down the lane.

Race 11 (8:10 PM EST)

5-Brooklyn Wolf (7/2)-Was in tall cotton in last and can be competitive versus this crew. Should have the gate speed to get the top and it will be up to Dave Palone to provide a well-rated trip.
7-Waitingforguffman (2-1)-Ronnie Wrenn needs to find a decent early seat but has been facing tougher and should relish the company. The Burke trainee could be bet down, and this trainer-driver combo posts 32% winners.

Race 12 (8:28 PM EST)

1-Mister Miracle (3-1)-Gets post relief, class relief and Aaron Merriman gets the nod. Doesn't have big gate speed but versus this kind has enough to take control when the wings fold. Recent form has been dull but has won 4 of 13 at the Meadows and has no excuse for not taking another picture tonight.

Race 13 (8:46 PM EST)

1-Idiosyncratic (2-1)-Droped to this level in last, and couldn't catch a well-meant winner. This will be the 3rd start on Lasix and hasn't connected for a win. But the 4-year-old did pace the back half in 55.2. Wrenn should be out and rolling and could make every call a winning one.

$5.00 Late Pick 4
