Race 1 - MADC 1 Pace ***$17,328.83 Pick 5 Carryover***

(9) GOOD ROCKIN tired on the front-end last week, but he might be better from off-the-pace right now, and I think he'll get that trip here from the outside post. (6) MUSCLE FACTORY A came in third against NW2500L5 foes a week ago and now returns to the amateur ranks where he's had success before. (7) MARSHALL ZHUKOV was second to a well-meant victor last Friday and recently added Lasix.

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

(2) CC BANK returned to action with a closing second-place finish at Vernon on 10-17 and has had success at the Meadowlands in the past. (5) PARODY has hit the board in all three of his recent tries in this class. (4) KILIMANJARO NL tired most recently at Monticello but won an amateur event at Pocono prior to that and has been in the trifecta in three of his last five outings overall.

Race 3 - TrackMaster Rating 68 (NW L4 70) or Less / Not 1, 2, 3 This Class Last Start Pace ***Survivor 7***

(3) RISE UP DEO never got involved last Friday but was a closing second two back and moves in on the gate tonight. He also shows a recent victory over NW1s at Harrah's Philadelphia. (2) SPIRIT OF TRUTH slides in from the nine-hole to post two and gained spots and ground in the final quarter of his mile a week ago. (4) CHEESE OMELET couldn't mount a bid from the pocket when last seen on October 24 but had hit the board in three straight prior to that and may offer a better price here after he was favored in that most recent effort.

Race 4 - NW5000L5 (NJSO/NW L2/F&M NW5500L5) / TrackMaster Rating 80.5 or Less (NW L2/NJSO/F&M 82.5) / 17500CLM Trot

(5) STEELWORKERS STORY dominated in this class in his debut for this stable a week ago and I'll look for lightning to strike again here. (2) SUPERGIRL MOLLY is three-for-three at the Meadowlands for her current connections and landed another inside post tonight. (3) NET WEIGHT comes in with back-to-back runner-up results at this level, including to my top selection last Friday.

Race 5 - MADC 1 Pace

(6) YER SO BAD is back in action here after a bit of a layoff, and I'm going to back him given his prior success in MADC 1 events this year. I think this may be a chance to get some value on him as well. (1) PUCKY and (2) THE OPENER switch to MADC 1 competition tonight out of the TrackMaster 71 or Less class. PUCKY tallied on Halloween and slides in on the gate to the pole position, while THE OPENER was third and departs from another inside post here.

Race 6 - F&M NW5000L5 (NJSO/NW L2/ NW5500L5) / TrackMaster Rating 80.5 or Less (NW L2/NJSO 82.5) / 17500CLM Pace ***$50K Est. Pick 4***

(1) PERFIDIOUS CROWN qualified well with Lasix added on Halloween and this stable usually sends their comebackers out ready to fire. (6) CANT SEE ME drops in her third outing for her current connections and is on a run of on-the-board results both in the U.S. and in Canada. (9) MAPLE SHADOW put it all together for a high-percentage stable a week ago. This is a class hike tonight, but it's hard to ignore anything being sent out by this trainer.

Race 7 - NW2 (NW L2/NJSO NW3) Ext. PM Races or 20000LT (NW L2/NJSO 30000LT) / 2YOs & Maidens Draw Inside Pace

(7) DOCTOR ARROGANTO doesn't have any wins this year but has been knocking on the door in Pennsylvania as of late and closed in 26 and change in one try at the Meadowlands on 10-24. (4) SEEYALATERHATER shows a win and a second against NW1s at Harrah's Philadelphia, plus a third against NW3s at Pocono recently and gets post relief compared to his appearance at this level at the Meadowlands on the 17th of October. (2) HADES is a 2-year-old faicng older here but won handily in back-to-back starts at Hoosier and is now in a stable that does well with young horses.

Race 8 - F&M NW2500L5 (NJSO or NW L2 NW3100L5) / TrackMaster Rating 77.5 or Less (NW L2 79.5) / NW2 PM Races LT / NW$100 in 2026 Pace ***Pick 6***

(6) TENNIS QUEEN qualified fine in the same race her stablemate, who is my top pick in Race 6, exits from Halloween, and I'm going to bank this one's ready to go first-time out as well. (3) DOMINICAN SUNSHINE exits what look to be tougher spots in Pennsylvania and landed an inside post. (5) KNOCK TWICE drops out of the NW5000L5 class and gets William Carter to drive for the first time since they teamed up for a victory together at Harrah's Philadelphia on October 9.

Race 9 - TrackMaster Rating 71 (NW L2 73) / Not 1, 2, 3 This Class Last Start Pace

(2) DRAGON STING gets significant post relief here after he's closed in 28 1/5 and 28 flat in his last two tries and makes his second start on Lasix tonight. (4) MIDNIGHT THUNDER has hit the board in three outings since he started racing at this level and slides in on the gate from the seven-hole to post four. (10) EVERYBODYLOVESLOU is stuck out in post ten but is getting class relief compared to his recent tries and shows a second against TM74.5 or Less company at the Meadowlands on September 5.

Race 10 - Open 1 Handicap Trot ***$50K Est. Pick 4***

(6) FRENCH WINE closed well in a fourth-place effort in the Breeders Crown Open Trot final. I think he'll benefit from the switch to the mile track, and he makes his second start on Lasix here. (7) ANTOGNONI S came in third in the Breeders Crown Open Trot final, and I expect he'll be hustling out from the outside post. (5) LEXUS KODY hasn't been as brilliant this year as he was in 2025, but he has a very good history at the Meadowlands and should be closer to the front than he has been lately.

Race 11 - F&M TrackMaster Rating 68 (NW L2 69 / NW L4 70) or Less / Not 1, 2, 3 This Class Last Start Pace ***Hi-5***

(5) IM NO SWIFTY invades from Harrah's Philadelphia with four on-the-board finishes in five starts thus far, including a win over NW1s on September 3. She uses Lasix for the first time here. (10) PRINCESS AMERICA will have to deal with the ten-hole but is dropping out of the TM71 class and had success at the Meadowlands before. (2) HELEN BACK AGAIN gets post relief and has hit the board in both of her outings since she started facing TrackMaster 68 or Less company.

Race 12 - F&M TrackMaster Rating 71 (NW L2 73.05) / 7500CLM / Not 1, 2, 3 This Class Last Start Pace

(3) PAPI'S CRUSH tallied in handy fashion the last time she was in this class at the Meadowlands on October 17 and drops out of a couple of tougher spots here and at Harrah's Philadelphia since then. (2) CHAOTIC CAPTAIN comes over from Harrah's Philadelphia in sharp form, including a triumph against NW1 foes a week ago. (1) SNACKCIDENT posted a fourth-place finish in her return to action at this level last Friday and slides in from post eight to the pole position this time.

Race 13 - F&M TrackMaster Rating 68 (NW L2 69 / NW L4 70) or Less / Not 1, 2, 3 This Class Last Start Pace

A tough race here with not much form to go on. I'll give (7) VILLANNAH a chance as she should be sharper in her second start back after a layoff, and she shows a fourth with a 27 and change final quarter against TM71 or Less foes back in early July. (2) LOVELY LADY MAY has just one victory over the last two years, but it came at the Meadowlands and she landed another inside post. (1) WOODMERE LEAH won in Virginia on October 24, and that sticks out quite a bit in here given the struggles this group has had in that department.
