The Meadowlands has a big 13-race card scheduled and the 0.50 Pick 4 begins in Race 8. That sequence will be my focus and it has a $50,000 guaranteed pool with a low 15% takeout.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 8

4-Brooklyn Lilacs (8-1)-Lost the lead down the lane in last but hasn't thrown two clunkers in a row for quite a while. Best to respect with this post draw and could pop at a price.
5-Shezza GNP N (6-1)--Drew off in last and now steps-up. This won't be as easy, but Dunn should have her forwardly placed again. Winner of two of three at the Big M could score an encore at a square price.
6-Skater Chick (3-1)-Idle since 10-25 but comes off a nice qualifier for hot barn. Dave Miller takes a seat, 3-year-old has been facing tough foes and best to respect.
9-Thrillonthebeach (9/2)-Last race at DD was a nice effort and this is a better big track horse. Post is a concern but might be overlooked at the windows and does like to win.

Race 9

3-Max Volo (9/2)-Dunn sticks and will look for better in second start off the bench. This is a spot to shine.
4-Starsaboveallerage (3-1)-Returns to the Big M but hasn't won here in two years. Not crazy about the 3-1 ML but is tough to leave out at this level.
5-Crazshana (7/2)-Takes a drop and has been facing much better on the 5/8's. It's been a while since he has seen the Big M winner's circle but Marcus Miller could work a trip from here.
7-Life Well Lived (5-1)-Last two off the bench have been sharp efforts and Auciello can keep them good for a while.

Race 10

3-Piercewave Hanover (3-1)-Got on the engine but couldn't hold a lead in last. Comes back in seven days and draws well. Barn has been hot and best to not overlook.
5-Kadabra Queen (9/2)-Makes second straight drop and tries Lasix for the first time. Did go off as chalk in NW10kL5 last week and is dangerous with a trip.

Race 11

5-Oberto (3-1)-Sharp try in last coming off of two breaks. This is a great spot for a picture if minds manners and Dunn can work a smooth journey from this post.
8-Grandma Heidi (7/2)-Heidi went off as chalk at this class last week and finished third. Post makes the price, does likes the track and has been consistent this year.
