The Meadowlands closes out stakes season with a loaded 14-race card. The headliners are the Grade 1 Fan Duel Championships, plus top 2-two-olds will be battling in stake races. The Spot Plays are in Race 7, Race 10, and Race 11. Comments and sections below are based on a fast track.

Race 7 (8:50 PM EDT)

4-Ken Hanover (8-1)-The morning line chalk is #5 Women Layer (5/2) who comes off a string of high-quality outings and my take is it will be bet down. My lean will be toward this veteran who hit the board in 9 of 15 at M1 and has taken 3 pictures. Comes off 3 straight dull efforts. The last race was in the Breeders Crown Final and was out of it from the start, but no one was beating Dandy Ideal that night. Will look for a bounce back effort at a juicy price. Regular pilot Tim Tetrick is back tonight and should be forwardly placed off the car. The 6-year-old had some nice efforts in September and will take a swing at a big number. Did have a 147.4 mark at M1 at 4 and 147.3 lifetime mark at Wbsb last year.

4-5-3

Race 10 (10:05 PM EST)

4-Miss Dolce (6-1)-The 2-year-old has won 3 of the last 4 at M1, and the string was broken in the last start. Did get bet down 2/5, was paced compromised, had a wide trip from the 8-hole and finished 2nd by a nose. Joe Bongiorno steers for trainer Joe Holloway, has the gate speed to land on the point and not look back. Has improved since shipping in from Lex. Likes M1 (7-3-1-0), will look for another top try and to finish the season on a high note.

4-3-6

Race 11 (10:30 PM EDT)

6-Eastie Boy (3-1)-The Ron Burke pupil comes off a win a DD and knows how to take pictures on a larger oval. Won the Metro at Mohawk in 149.2 getting on the engine and made every call a winning one. Makes its M1 debut here with its one and only pilot Ronnie Wrenn between the pipes. Should be on top or in the 2 hole off the car. That is the preferred journey and could be tough to stop.

6-4-5
