Free Meadowlands Picks & Predictions

Rerally is the value angle here — an 82.71 TrackWiz rating (second-best in the field) going off at 6/1 on the morning line is a number mismatch worth exploiting. A 22% career win rate is legitimately strong for this level, and trainer Wayne Potts has a second runner in the field, suggesting confidence in the barn's turf horses today. If Magical Marriage gets shuffled back or faces traffic, Rerally is the horse most likely to pick up the pieces.

Bean Machine at 9/2 is an interesting exotic inclusion with a 71.25 rating that sits comfortably in the top half of this field. Trainer Panagiotis A. Synnefias also has I'm A Gambler in the race, but Bean Machine draws the rail — post position 1 on turf at Meadowlands can be a gift at this distance if the horse breaks cleanly and gets to track the pace. Pedro L. Cotto, Jr. in the irons keeps this one worth threading into trifecta tickets.

Better Every Day sits second in our ratings at 72.34 and matches the field's average speed at 54, giving trainer Phil Schoenthal a legitimate contender at 7/2. Ruben Silvera takes the mount, and the horse's figures suggest it should be running at or near the front end of this sprint. Even if Creative Thinker is too good on the day, Better Every Day figures to be in the thick of it late.

Bar Room Queen checks in at a 56.67 rating and holds a 3/1 morning line — intriguing value for a horse sitting mid-pack in our numbers in a race where the top two picks aren't far ahead of the field. Trainer Jose Lozano Sanchez sends Luis Raul Rivera, Jr. up, and in a wide-open maiden field, a horse with an average speed of 54 can easily outrun its odds. Keep Bar Room Queen alive in your exactas and trifectas as a closer who could find clear ground late.

Gypsy Style posts a 71.86 rating — second in the field — and goes off at 5/1 on the morning line, which represents solid place value if Luciana does what the numbers say she should. Trainer Cesareo Marquez keeps this one lightly regarded, but an average speed of 53 is competitive in this group, and Kendry Rivera can be dangerous when given a live runner. She's the logical second horse for exacta and quinella coverage.

Garden Gal is the morning-line favorite at 2/1 and posts a 71.05 rating — almost identical to Gypsy Style — so it's more a matter of framing than ability that puts her here. Trainer Joan Milne has the top two horses from this barn in the field, giving some confidence in the setup, and Luis Raul Rivera, Jr. typically gets these turf maidens to run their race. If the pace scenario gets messy up front, Garden Gal's style might allow her to sneak onto the board.
