The Meadowlands has a big 15-race card featuring Kindergarten Series action. The Spot Plays are in Race 6, Race 10, and Race 15. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 6 (8:40 PM EDT)

6-Green Maztake (7/2)-The Greenshoe 3-year-old has a good speed but has trouble staying on stride. Broke 2 back at M1 and has taken steps in 3 of the last 5 races. The reason to play is because the last start at Philly was a sharp performance. Rolled the back half in .55 and got up to win by a head. Will look for another flat effort and there's no telling what kind of speed the Smedshammer filly could bring on a larger oval if minds its manners. Should be hungry for a win, this is a sharp outfit, the breaking issues could be solved and will look for a square price.

Race 10 (10:20 PM EDT)

3-Love Somebody (3-1)-Toscano trainee has cashed checks against Pennsylvania Sires Stakes company on smaller ovals. Could improve from the bottom of the ticket to taking a picture on the driver change to Dexter Dunn. This is a grinder that needs the button pushed at the right time and this pilot knows how.

Using #3 Love Somebody in a Win Bet.

Race 15 (12:25 AM EDT)

8-Almost Karen (8-1)-Jason Bartlett sticks around for the finale on a long night to steer for the Maria Reid barn. That peaked my interest as Bartlett has only driven for Reid 3 times and has won all 3. Did win 2 back at this level then stepped up and put in a no-move mile on 7-17. Drops back to the level of its last win and that was with tonight's pilot. Not sure if the 8-1 program price holds up but should offer a solid return with this post draw.
