Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 7-10, Friday, June 1, 2018

I had three of four again Saturday, minus $8. Meet totals, 6 for 37, plus $385.45.

50-cent play: 158/7/245,10/27 = $12
50 cent play: 8/27/24,10/27 = $6

Analysis:

Race 7: I’m going to try two tickets tonight for a total of $18.00. This is a pretty competitive race. I’m going to try three here, my top three ranked, 1, 5, 8. My top pick is (8) Sail To The Beach, who raced gamely against a solid favorite in last.

Race 8: (7) Phaetosive is my Best Bet but she does come off a layoff. I used her as a single on one ticket, but on the other ticket I threw in (2) Zephyr Kronos, who is improving.

Race 9: This is a pretty tough race. I’m using three, 2, 4, 10 on one ticket and adding the 5 in the other.

Race 10: I’m going to try to get it done using the two most obvious choices, (2) Beyonces Rockin, off a key drop, and (7) Future Headlines, off a layoff and a sharp qualifier.
