The Meadowlands has a 14-race card, and the 0.50 Early Pick 4 starts 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)

2-Joey Joe (3-1)-Bumps up a TM level after putting in a huge mile racing wide and was double bubbled. Was aided by a fast pace but did the heavy lifting to roll a 56.1 back half and looks like a good double up possibility.
7-Pompeo Hanover (4-1)-Finished 4th up one TM level and did go a 54.1 back half after leaving from the 7-hole. Now drops and may have met a beatable field.

Race 7 (8:50 PM EST)

7-Caviart Lotus (9/2)-Makes the 1st start at M1 this year after doing some good work at HoP. Was claimed very late in the meet and comes back in sequence. Should fit well, and the Alvarez barn post 29% winners after a claim.
9-Mamba (3-1)-Joe B steers his own and the 5-year-old has hit the board in 6 of 13 with 2 pictures. Should relish the company after close finishes with the $40k claimers at Yonkers.

Race 8 (9:15 PM EST)

2-It's In The Stars (4-1)-Gets post relief, drops a notch and has been a player at this TM level. Likes to race near the top of the top of the stack and Brett Beckwith could make this post draw a winning advantage.
4-Seasideescape (6-1)-Liked this 4-year-old with Bartlett steering on 11-22 and did connect for a win. Now Joe B steers another of his own and it steps up. Using on the assumption will handle the bump up and looking for a bigger price than the morning line.
5-Trumpster Blues (6-1)-Sealed the deal last week after a pair of 2nd place finishes and now moves up a TM level. Draws well and was aided by a quick pace last week. Could be rolling hard off cover and the fractions should be lively again.

Race 9 (9:40 PM EST)

1-Mayhem Hanover (5-1)-Has won only 2-times in 34 starts at M1 but gets some needed post relief and fits with this crew. Looking for a solid price, the veteran is in a spot to get an efficient trip and be in line for a suck-around win.
6-Dance Partner (3-1)-Beaten even money chalk started from the same post last week and came 2nd. Faded down the lane after getting the lead and now faces the same kind again. This is a different field, only the 1-4 are the same and could make amends tonight.
