Al Cimaglia: Northfield Park Late Pick 4 Analysis | Sunday, October 16, 2022

Northfield Park has 15 races set to go this evening. The $1.00 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 11. The sequence has a $10,000 guaranteed pool, and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 11

1-Live And Let Di (2-1)-Takes a meaningful drop in class, regular pilot Davis Jr returns, likes to race on the point and draws the rail for the 1st time in 3 months. Looks like a main player at a small price.
7-Smothastenesewisky (5/2)-This mare has the speed to take a picture. But will need to find live cover and could be pace compromised.

Race 12

5-Future Ex-Wife (7/5)-Here's another short price who should handle the field, although not confident enough to single. Merriman should be able to hop on the engine and may need to be leading turning for the wire to win.
6-Bonita Jo (7-1)-Davis Jr takes the lines, that's a positive driver change and should offer a solid price. Could stalk the chalk and with a sharp steer be the best down the lane.

Race 13

3-Cinderella Delight (7/5)-Not in love with the short price coming off a sick scratch on 10-8 but knows how to win at Nfld
(21-7-5-2). Davis may try to get the top and not look back.
5-St Lads Gidget (5/2)-Took the long way around after blasting out from the 8-hole on 10-9 and the trip took its toll. Wrenn sticks and should be in the hunt with this post draw. Having 1 win in 25 starts this year is cause for pause but may have found a beatable field.

Race 14

3-Sweet Talker (2-1)-Drops after getting parked the mile and now Wrenn gets the assignment. Has beaten better than this in July at Nfld and now makes the 3rd start after a judge's scratch. Looks like all systems are "go".
6-Mytsical Virgin (5-1)-Steps-up off a win and should fit nicely with this group. Made a rare break on 9-24 as the chalk, came back and wired the same kind on 10-9. Looking for a clean trip and another strong effort.
