Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $30,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on Aug. 2.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 3-6, Saturday, Aug. 3, 2013

$1 play: 59/56/13/56 = $16

Analysis:

Race 3: The late Pick-4 starts with the Hambletonian final so I’ll go with the early Pick-4 today starting in the third race. This is a wide open race. I picked (5) D’orsay and (9) Maven is the one to beat.

Race 4: This is a terrific race. I’ll stick with the obvious mares, (5) Rocklamation and (6) Anndrovette.

Race 5: (1) Nuncio and (3) Father Patrick are the two favorites and the others have to improve sharply.

Race 6: (6) Little Brown Fox should be tough to catch here but I’m also using (5) Cedar Dove, who has sharpened in last two starts.
