TRI’s Picks February 3 Meadowlands

Meadowlands Racetrack Pick 5, Races 1-5, Pick 4, Races 6-9, Friday, February 3, 2012

TRI has agreed to handicap and write about the $20,000 Pick 5 Guarantee starting tonight. Last night, we had no winners. We were second with Lobo Billy who went off at 7-2. I feel optimistic about tonight’s ticket. Good luck!

Pick 5

$1 Play: 6/5/3/1,2/3 = $2

Analysis:

Race 1- (6) Flowmaster looks good coming out of the Clyde Hirt. He did not do well in the final, but did do well in the event’s legs. He should improve tonight.

Race 2- (5) Oceans Motion is the outsider coming from Opens at Yonkers. She has impressed over there and should impress here tonight.

Race 3- (3) Rhombus did not perform to what I expected last week. He closed hard, but finished seventh by 3 lengths. He raced on the outside the entire race. He’ll have to save more ground to close better.

Race 4- (1) Omen Hanover checked in the lane, causing her to lose a lot of ground. She was good in starts before that and should do better if she has racing room. (2) Royal Cee Cee N raced in the upper ranks last year. She did very well over at Chester in the winners of events. She comes into 2012 off a good qualifier and could upset.

Race 5- (3) Order By Texas is making a slight step up after an impressive effort. He closed from tenth to win at 59-1. He may still be a price, but he’ll have a better shot tonight.

Pick 4

$2 Play: 7,10/2/1,8/5 = $8

Analysis:

Race 6- (7) Eagle Say showed talent at Pocono last year. She stepped up and made an early move, only to give way. She did not qualify well, but may be ready to race tonight. (10) Live Jazz raced worse than expected last time. He did not show any rally, but I see him improving off that effort.

Race 7- (2) Hi Sir “woke up” in his last race at Yonkers. He showed some action and finished fourth. He steps up into the Exit 16W and could bomb.

Race 8- (1) Love You Always attempted to close last time, but faltered in the stretch. She should get better positioning with the rail. (8) Jk Soundofmusic lost by a neck last time. She draws the outside again and may be able to pull off a better trip.

Race 9- (5) Jeanie Marie closed well in this company last time. He should be able to do better tonight from mid-pack.
