TRI’s Picks March 22 Meadowlands

Meadowlands Racetrack Pick 4, Races 7-10, Friday, March 22, 2013

Last week, we had two winners that were under-lays, Versado ($4.00) and Pembroke Dewey ($8.80). Tonight’s ticket is a little more spread out and the slated Pick 4 races appear wide-open, but I think we nailed them. Good luck!

$2 Play: 3,4/3,4/4,6/1,7 = $16

Analysis:

Race 7- (3) Southwind Jazmin gets post relief off a tough effort last week. She likes to be on the lead and may try to rate the mile or get a pocket spot due to other leavers. Either way, she has a good late kick for home. (4) Unred Hanover is the likely favorite in this event. She’s coming off a second place effort to Rocklamation, where she was shuffled back and shook lose late. She should get a better trip tonight and be a fierce foe, not at a good price though.

Race 8- (3) Hoboken Sonny is a free-legged trotter tonight. He takes off the hopples off of several good efforts against better. He drops into the C-1 tonight and should improve greatly. (4) Westside Lindy is likely going to take some play. He’s dropping down off a tough mile, where he brushed to the top passing the half and tried to rate, but quit. He gets post relief today, so he should have something left for the stretch.

Race 9- (4) Love You Always is excused for her last mile. Post 9 is deadly at The Meadows, so we take a look at her effort from post 5. She made an effort to get into the mile and finished third. She should take to the two turns better and could provide us with an upset. (6) Joanniehasafanny is also upset potential. She is stepping up from the C-2 after an impressive mile. From post 9, she got the lead, was shuffled and retook the lead at three-quarters, winning in one of the fastest miles in the field, 1:53.3. If she gets the right trip, she will be very competitive tonight.

Race 10- (1) Buzz Bomb trotted a good mile from post 7 off a layoff last week. He closed well to finish third and should be better placed with the rail tonight and kick for home better. (7) Spectator K is dropping down off a good mile from post 8. He cleared the lead and settled for fourth. The drop in class should help and he should stay flat as Andy Miller knows this trotter well.
