(7) AMERICAN MERCURY won two straight in MADC competition back in late August and early September and exits a fourth against tougher TrackMaster 77.5 or less company last Saturday. (6) MUSCLE FACTORY A led for a long way before he wound up third a week ago and has hit the board in two straight overall. (4) BUILDING BOOST has also been in the trifecta in his last couple of outings, including a runner-up effort a week ago.

Race 2 - NW2 (NW L2/NJSO NW3) Ext. PM Races or 20000LT (NW L2/NJSO 37200LT) / 2YOs & Maidens Draw Inside Pace

(8) CORBIN HANOVER starts from the outside again but showed 25 and change closing speed in his final quarter on Halloween, and hopefully he'll be closer to the action tonight. (2) HUNGRY SPIRIT was the runner-up to a well-meant favorite in this class last Friday and moves in on the gate from post six to the two-hole. (4) DOCTOR ARROGANTO had some traffic issues a week ago and had to settle for third. He's now 0-for-16 in the win column in 2026 and two-for-31 lifetime, so I'll use underneath only.

Race 3 - TrackMaster Rating 74.5 (NW L2 or F&M 76.5) or Less/10000CLM / TrackMaster Rating 77.5 (NW L2 or F&M 79.5/12500CLM Drawn Outside Trot

(5) STONEBRIDGE WINGS broke at Yonkers last Wednesday but was in good form in Canada prior to that, and he may appreciate getting back on a big track tonight. (4) TOPVILLE LADY beat NW2 foes at Yonkers on 10-21 and backed that up with a third at Saratoga in a subsequent effort. (3) GO LONG shows a couple of recent runner-up finishes where he's been able to close well in the stretch, including when last seen on the 23rd of October.

Race 4 - F&M TrackMaster Rating 68 (NW L2 69 / NW L4 70) or Less / Not 1, 2, 3 This Class Last Start Pace

(2) COUNTRY DANCING just missed hitting the board in this class both on 9-4 and last Friday and gets reunited with Brad Chisholm here. She also slides in a couple of notches on the gate. (7) THANEEYA was second as the favorite the last time she faced TrackMaster 68 or less rivals at the Meadowlands on the 4th of September. (4) CUTTING HUMOR tired after a bad trip on October 30 but had a second and a third in two outings prior to that.

Race 5 - MADC 1 Pace

I'm going to give (2) URBAN RENEWAL a chance in this wide-open tilt as he gets post relief off his last two efforts and all three of his wins so far in 2026 have come in MADC 1 races at the Meadowlands. (1) IMAPRICELESSPRINCE moves in on the gate to the pole position and backed up his third against TrackMaster 68 or Less company on 10-30 with a runner-up result in a MADC 1 tilt a week ago. (3) SPARTACUS BLUECHIP should be full of confidence after he rallied to upset TrackMaster 71 or Less rivals last Friday. He's a second-timer for these connections tonight.

Race 6 - NW5000L5 (NJSO/NW L2/F&M NW5800L5) / TrackMaster Rating 80.5 or Less (NW L2/NJSO/F&M 82.5) / 17500CLM Trot ***$50K Est. Pick 4***

(3) FALSE DOGMA closed well in a runner-up finish against NW5 company at Harrah's Philadelphia last Thursday and was facing tougher NW7500L5 rivals when last seen at the Meadowlands on 10-23. (5) WALKWHILEYOURTALKN was a good second to a 1-5 favorite at this level a week ago and has hit the board in three of his last five tries overall. (7) FAITH STEP continues to work her way down the ladder compared to the classes she's been in out of town, and she might appreciate being back on a bigger track since she shows a third at Woodbine Mohawk Park in early October.

Race 7 - F&M TrackMaster Rating 71 (NW L2 73.05) / 7500CLM / Not 1, 2, 3 This Class Last Start Pace

(3) IM NO SWIFTY tallied handily from first-up against TrackMaster 68 or Less company last week. That means this is a class hike tonight, but I liked the way she won, her 2-2-1 record from six starts thus far in her career, and that she makes her second start on Lasix. (8) PRECIOUS GEMMA hasn't been seen since September 30, but she was second against NW2s at Yonkers in that tilt, and she's got two wins and a runner-up finish in five lifetime appearances. (7) SWIFT SARABI crossed the wire first in the no-contest race at the Meadowlands last Friday and has been sharp for a while between the Meadowlands and tracks in Pennsylvania.

Race 8 - NW10500L5 (NJSO/NW L2/F&M NW12500L5) / TrackMaster Rating 86 or Less (NW L2/NJSO/F&M 88.19) / NW8 Ext. PM Races LT / NW8580L5 Drawn Inside Trot

(3) DJIMON prevailed in the corresponding class to this one at Harrah's Philadelphia on 10-22 and makes his fifth start out of this high-percentage stable. (7) MONSERRATE drops out of the Open 1 Handicap in his second outing after a bit of a layoff and took his lifetime mark at the Meadowlands earlier this year. (6) POWER HILL invades from out of town in great form, including a game runner-up finish from first-over against $40,000 claimers at Yonkers most recently.

Race 9 - TrackMaster Rating 71 (NW L2/F&M 73) / 7500CLM / Not 1, 2, 3 This Class Last Start Trot

(1) HOOFBEATS DE VIE returns to the Meadowlands after one try from an outside post at Harrah's Philadelphia and was fourth against tougher TrackMaster 74.5 or Less company when last seen locally. (4) CHAMPA BAY HALL is winless thus far in 2026 but closed well in a fifth-place effort a week ago and moves in on the gate from the nine-hole to post four. (9) MASSIVE MATTER romped by open lengths at this level on the 17th of October and is back at the Meadowlands this time off a second and a third in amateur events at Harrah's Philadelphia.

Race 10 - F&M NW2500L5 (NJSO or NW L2 NW3100L5) / TrackMaster Rating 77.5 or Less (NW L2 79.5) / 12500CLM Pace ***$50K Est. Pick 4***

(7) AMAZING ADDY is a first-timer for a high-percentage stable that's been doing well with newcomers all year. I'll bank on the same thing happening here. (2) BELLA ARTISTE comes in from Pocono in tremendous form, having posted four victories and a third-place finish in her last five appearances. (5) KNOCK TWICE shows a win against NW5000L5 foes at Harrah's Philadelphia on 10-9, plus a third against NW5000L5s at the Meadowlands on 10-23. She takes another chance at this level tonight after she was bothered severely in the no-contest race a week ago.

Race 11 - 7500-10000CLM HCP Pace ***Hi-5***

(6) NATIONAL SPORT didn't get involved from post eight on 10-24, but I think this might be a bit softer spot than that TrackMaster 77.5 or Less contest, he moves in a couple of notches on the gate, and he shows a pair of recent victories in amateur races at Harrah's Philadelphia when he's been handled aggressively. (9) LAZARUS STAR overcame the ten-hole to tally in game fashion on Saturday night and will likely be firing out again here. (4) FOX VALLEY MAMBA just missed to LAZARUS STAR on November 7 and prevailed handily a couple of times at Tioga back in September.

Race 12 - TrackMaster Rating 68 (NW L4 69) or Less / Not 1, 2, 3 This Class Last Start Pace

I'm going to go back to (7) RISE UP DEO here against this blank field in the hopes that he can work out a smoother journey here than he did last week when he got rebuffed from first-over and tired. He did take some wagering attention in that contest, which I take as a positive despite the poor result. (6) WHITECOOKIE turned in an improved effort by advancing from last to fifth in the final quarter of his mile a week ago and can build on that tonight. (2) SPIRIT OF TRUTH couldn't deliver as the favorite last Friday, but it wasn't a poor effort by any means, and he does show a third at this level on the 24th of October.

Race 13 - F&M NW5000L5 (NJSO/NW L2 NW6671L5) / TrackMaster Rating 80.5 or Less (NW L2/NJSO 82.5) / 17500CLM Pace

(3) MAPLE SHADOW ran into some trouble on the first turn last week when she got jammed up and broke, but she won impressively prior to that for a high-percentage stable. (7) TH CHECK ME OUT finished a good second to a well-meant favorite at this level last Friday and was also the runner-up in a recent NW5000L5 test over at Yonkers. (6) HOUSE BLEND prevailed in the corresponding class to this one at Pocono on the 19th of October and hasn't been outside the exacta in three straight tries overall.

Race 14 - TrackMaster Rating 68 (NW L4 69) or Less / Not 1, 2, 3 This Class Last Start Pace

(5) BOSTON BEACH BOY was no match for NW2 company last week, but finds a much more reasonable spot here and had a recent run of three straight on-the-board results at Harrah's Philadelphia, including a win on 10-30. (7) MY WISH CAME TRUE took one successful chance against TrackMaster 71 or Less rivals a week ago and now slides back down to the level where he won on the 30th of October. (8) CHEESE OMELET just missed by a nose in a rallying effort last Friday and has missed the trifecta just once in his last five appearances overall.
