Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on Feb. 25, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 7-10, Saturday, Feb. 25, 2017

I had three out of four again last night. My meet results so far, two for 30, winners paid $41.65 for 50-cents and $85.00 for $1.00, minus $312.85.

Standard Ticket: 50-cent play: 267/5/678/12 = $9.00
Whale Ticket: none

Analysis:

Race 7: (7) Lucky Man has speed and good form. (6) Cashendash Hanover is better racing with a target and was on the lead last week. (2) Alex Bullville does well at this track and is in good form.

Race 8: (5) The Rock takes a key drop for a high percentage barn.

Race 9: (6) Durant has a tough trip in last when blocked with pace after leaving. (7) Unix Hanover has a chance at a price. (8)(Legion Of Boom is fast and fit.

Race 10: This is a wide open race that’s weak. I don’t want to go too big on the ticket so I’m using the (1) Major War and (2) Giant Slayer.
