Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 7-10, Friday, Jan. 4, 2012

$1 play: 4/146/1348/3469 = $48

Analysis:

Race 7: I’m going to single (4) Don’t Know Chip, a classy trotter who likes this track and comes off a solid effort in a race he needed. If he wins I have a decent shot.

Race 8: Wide open pace. I’m using (1) Chief Karen who beat similar in last, (4) Hot List, a sharp Burke shipper, and (6) Cat Cora, who adds lasix and has been facing some tough fields.

Race 9: This race is wide open and I’m using all four of my contenders. If I had to narrow it down I would use (3) Sea Raven who closed well here last week, and (4) Rose Run Hooligan, a classy veteran who has 48 career wins.

Race 10: Another tough race and I used all four of my contenders. If I had to narrow it down I’d single (4) Caramel Chinno.
