Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on Jan. 16, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 7-10, Friday, Jan. 16, 2015

Last night my single and Best Bet was scratched and I only had two of four, minus $6.

Meet totals: Standard ticket, four plays, -$60, Whale ticket, two plays, -$29

Standard ticket: 50 cent play: 38/79/23/13679 = $20
Whale ticket: 50 cent play: none

Analysis:

Race 7: I like (8) Jerseylicious here, she is overdue and shows improving form, but I’m also using (3) Montenegro, who moves inside.

Race 8: (7) Hot Type was parked a long way from post 10 in last. (9) Master Of Law has class.

Race 9: (2) Canadian Wildcat is probably going to take money off the drop and driver change and is my top pick. (3) Lauderdale needed last from post 10 and gets better spot here.

Race 10: This is the toughest race of the sequence. I’m using five, 1-3-6-7-9.
