Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 8-11, Saturday, Jan. 27, 2018

My Pick-4 had three out of four last night minus $24.00. Meet Totals, 0 for 4, minus $94.

Standard Ticket: 50-cent play: 37/45/1468/6 = $8.00
Whale Ticket: 50-cent play: none

Analysis:

Race 8: (3) Northern Assassin A was used hard in last and he has held his form well. (7) Rocket J is in form and picks up Gingras.

Race 9: (4) Track Master D is one of my Best Bets and could be some value here; drops in class. I also used (5) Sir Machalot off an improved effort.

Race 10: This is a wide open race so I’m using all four of my listed contenders 1, 4, 6, 8.

Race 11: (6) Ideal Shadow was used very hard in last and actually held surprisingly well.
