Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on March 20, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 7-10, Friday, March 20, 2015

Saturday night I played a $12 ticket and had two of four winners.

Meet totals: standard ticket, 22 plays, -$272; whale ticket, nine plays, -$302

Standard ticket: 50 cent play: 178/23/2/110 = $6
Whale ticket: 50 cent play: none

Analysis:

Race 7: The two mares on the outside, (7) Icommandmyspirit and my top pick, (8) Inittowinafortune, are both dropping, but I also used (1) Scandalicious, who raced well off a layoff last start.

Race 8: (3) Modest Prince and (2) Team Six are both likely to go well here.

Race 9: (2) Ballineen is ready to win.

Race 10: (10) Sweet Justice ships in and faces weaker. (1) For You Almostfree appears to be the main rival.
