Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on March 30, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 6-9, Friday, March 30, 2012

I didn’t hit Saturday night, minus $8, which brings the total to minus $541 for the first 33 nights; I haven’t hit one so far this meet. Saturday’s night’s card was tough. Pretty good card again tonight but not as competitive as Saturday; the Pick-4 sequence doesn’t look impossible so I’m trying two singles.

$1 play: 3/34/1389/3 = $8

Analysis:

Race 6: (3) Bunny In The Bank ships in sharp off a game uncovered try at Yonkers and raced well against better over this track in the Cape & Cutter.

Race 7: (3) Opening Night had a strong 3-year-old season and qualified well. (4) In Focus steps up off a sharp win and has the class to handle tougher.

Race 8: Wide open race, I’m using (1) Southwest, (3) For All We Know, (8) Nite Games and (9) Jasperthat A. For All We Know is my top pick off the bench with a key driver change.

Race 9: (3) Bank President is my single, beat similar first over. Fairly wide open race though.
