(5) PREPPY ART won a couple times at the Meadowlands earlier this year and has been having success lately at Rosecroft. (3) SPORTSMANSHIP invades from claiming company at Pocono for a barn that's been sending out some winners lately over at Yonkers.

Race 3 - NW3000L5/NW4215L7/TrackMaster Rating 76.55 or Less as of 11-29-22 Trot

(1) THE MAGIC OF LIFE drops out of tougher spots in Pennsylvania and has won at the Meadowlands in the past. (2) WOW LESTER finished third against NW5000L5's last Friday and gets to slide back down to the class where he was victorious two back here. (6) PENCILS DOWN was fourth in a NW2 event a week ago. He makes his third start for Jeff Cullipher tonight and adds Dunn.

Race 4 - F&M NW7500L5/TrackMaster Rating 82.2 or Less as of 11-29-22 Pace

(3) MAJOR BATTLE posted her last win in the corresponding class to this one at Harrah's Philadelphia in late October and has been racing well at Pocono. (8) SUNDAY AFTERNOON gets some additional class relief tonight and took her life's mark at the Meadowlands earlier in 2022. (4) COUSIN MARY scored two back at this level and then didn't have a great trip in a subsequent effort. She gets a chance with Dunn driving tonight.

Race 5 - NW5050L5/TrackMaster Rating 79.55 or Less as of 11-29-22 Trot

(8) SUMATRA owns just a single win so far this year, but the veteran worked his way up into higher classes than this over at Yonkers and might appreciate getting to stretch out on the mile track tonight. (5) LOS BALLYKEELAMIGO also comes over from Yonkers where he's been in tougher spots, and this move often works for trainer Ricky Bucci. (3) BLOGMASTER struggled from outside posts in the NW9000L5 level over at Pocono but drops and moves inside tonight. He also adds Yannick Gingras in the bike.

Race 6 - F&M NW12500L5/TrackMaster Rating 84.5 or Less as of 11-29-22/NW7/TrackMaster Rating 86.5 or Less Drawn Outside Pace **$50,000 Guaranteed Pick 4 Pool**

(7) MILIEU HANOVER didn't really fire on Saturday night but shows beating the likes of Majorca N and Fire Start Hanover in the Open two back at Dover and switches pilots to Dunn tonight. (6) SO IRRESISTIBLE finished her mile with good pace in that same event my top pick comes out of, was Scott Zeron's choice tonight, and has been knocking on the door. (3) THE STUNNING NUN N has won two straight editions of the Open at Batavia and finds a reasonable spot here compared to the NW20000L5's she tackled once at Yonkers in October.

Race 7 - NW5050L5/TrackMaster Rating 79.55 or Less as of 11-29-22 Trot

(6) SHINKANSEN slides down the class ladder tonight and will probably go back to showing his blast-out speed after taking back last Friday. He was also Andy McCarthy's choice in here. (4) ROMANTIC WARIOR couldn't get the job done as the favorite on 11-18 but that will perhaps inflate his price tonight for a barn that's sending out a lot of winners. (1) ALL AMERICAN N faded after getting used hard in the windy conditions last Friday but gets to drop an additional level here and has won at the Meadowlands before.

Race 8 - F&M NW3000L5/TrackMaster Rating 76.5 or Less as of 11-29-22/12500CLM Pace

(7) ODDS ON GAMMA meets up with bottom level foes here after battling NW5's at Harrah's Philadelphia and should be a threat. (8) CASH ROLL rallied to finish second in this class last Friday and gets another shot with Scott Zeron in the bike tonight. (6) HIT ME UP shows defeating NW4's at Pocono in early October and has Joe Bongiorno to drive for Jenn tonight.

Race 9 - TrackMaster Rating 83 or Less as of 11-29-22/NW1395L5 Pace

(1) GAME OF CHANGE prevailed pretty handily last Friday, and I think is capable of doubling up as Dunn takes over in the bike. (4) THREE IN HEAVEN A put in all together on Saturday night to pick up his first win in the U.S. and now gets an opportunity with Yannick Gingras. (7) HIGH BALLER has won three of his last four starts and just missed in life's-best clocking in his victory on Saturday.

Race 10 - NW10500L5/TrackMaster Rating 84.5 or Less as of 11-29-22 Trot **$50,000 Guaranteed Pick 4 Pool**

(3) MEMO came in third in his last appearance on 11-18. He drops tonight and won in this class on November 5. (1) MISS MUSCLE scored decisively over NW9400L5's two back at Pocono and then found the waters a little deep in their NW20000L5 class. This looks like a more reasonable spot here. (8) HOLTON has been in the top three in three of his last four tries, including a triumph over NW12500L5's at Pocono in early November.

Race 11 - NW2/20000LT (NW L3 30000LT) / Maidens Drawn Inside Pace

(3) SLICK RICHARD closed well to finish third at this level two back and then was hampered by an outside draw last Friday. He moves inside on the gate tonight, and I'll use. (6) RESTAURANT BULLY wound up with a difficult trip a week ago and couldn't get the job done as the favorite, but he's capable of delivering with any type of smoother journey here. (7) UP THE CREEK has hit the board in all of his tries since returning to action in November.

Race 12 - NW20000L5/TrackMaster Rating 89.45 or Less as of 11-29-22 Trot

(6) AHUNDREDDOLLARBILL backed up his good qualifier on 11-19 by getting a check in the TVG Open Trot final and finds softer company tonight. (5) RICH AND MISERABLE just missed in the corresponding class to this one at Pocono last time out and has had success at the Meadowlands in the past. (7) DELAYED HANOVER broke up at Saratoga in his first try for Kevin McDermott but stretches his legs out on the mile track here and picks up Dunn.

Race 13 - F&M NW5000L5/TrackMaster Rating 79.5 or Less as of 11-29-22 Pace

(8) LETS RYDE GIRL went a long way on the lead through fast fractions last Friday and gets a driver switch to Corey Callahan tonight. (3) ALKIPPE drops out of tougher spots and adds Dunn in the bike here. (4) ELLEOFADELI was second the last time she raced in the corresponding class to this one at Yonkers and was Gingras's choice.

Race 14 - F&M TrackMaster Rating 74 or Less as of 11-29-22 Pace

(3) NO WHERE TO HIDE rallied from ninth to fourth in the final quarter in this class on 11-19 and kept Scott Zeron over others in this race. (9) DOC'S FAITH takes another crack at bottom level TrackMaster rivals tonight after finishing third a week ago. (1) PLEASURE SEEKER comes in from Plainridge having hit the board in two straight attempts and displayed a versatile racing style, which gives Callahan some options with her.
