TRI’s Picks June 1 Meadowlands

Meadowlands Racetrack Pick 4, Races 6-9, Friday, June 1, 2012

After a long vacation, we are back and rolling on the Meadowlands Pick 4, one of the best bets in harness racing. Our last ticket was from May 25, where we had two winners. They were not a bet though. This week is sure to bring long shots, shorter shots and of course, a winning ticket. So lean back in your chair and keep your eyes close to your computer for tonight’s Pick 4.

$2 Play: 2,8/1,6/3/3 = $8

Analysis:

Race 6- (2) Panthalops closed very well against this bunch last time from post 7. Although she finished fourth, this horse is known for staying off the pace and coming onto the scene late, its how she was fourth in last years Breeders Crown. She draws a better post this week and should be able to close better than last time. (8) Proud Moment makes his fourth start in the Marcus Johansson stable. He moved three wide at the half last time and was stuck there at three-quarters as well. He closed hard and was third from post 10. He gets some mild post relief but should still be in the top three.

Race 7- (1) Ace Of Pace closed well last time. She caught the cover flow and was 2 lengths off the leader in fifth as they passed the flash of the finish. She gets a better post and should be closer to the pace to win. (6) Best Boss was too far back last time, but still caught up to get minor money in fourth. If she is closer up in the cover flow or in the pocket, she’ll have a great shot to either romp or nip the leader at the wire.

Race 8- (3) Good Night Hanover stepped up into this class after winning in non-winners of one. She hung and hung on very well. If she gets a better trip, she should have no problem winning.

 
Race 9- (3) Ms Bettys Hope raced against similar company two starts back. She parked and still finished a close fourth. She gets post relief and should get a better trip and win for fun.
