Northfield Park has a 14-race card scheduled with the feature coming in Race 3, a Fillies and Mares Open Pace with a $18,000 purse. The $1.00 Late Pick 4 begins 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

4-Osceola Hanover (9/5)-Wired the field last week and could do the same now but may not need a 26.3 opening quarter to take control. Faces older but looks a cut above the rest and if Davis Jr provides a sharp steer, it could be time for another picture.

Race 12

2-Type A Personality (7/5)-Ronnie Wrenn grabs the lines and this Ryan Miller trainee has hit the board in 17 of 23 this year with 11-wins. Many have come at the Fairs but has 2 wins in 3 starts at Nfld. Comes into this affair on a 2-race win streak and should make it a 3-peat.

Race 13

1-Hangon Cowgirl (4-1)-Not loving the 3-weeks off but this is a race of camera shy horses and at least this mare has hit the board in 10 of 21 starts. Will overlook having only 1 win here, Myers sticks and should be better in the 2nd start since returning to this oval.
5-Sister Said (2-1)-The race should go through this 4-year-old mare but winning 2 straight is not in her DNA. Over the past 2-years she is 3 for 37 and all the wins have come since 8-10.
8-Morning Miracle (6-1)-Won versus this kind off a covered trip on 10-9. The price is right to take a swing and could score again. But is trip dependent so will need some lively fractions like a .56 first half, and that is a possibility.

Race 14

4-Sarahs Surprise (4-1)-Beaten odds-on chalk appears to be in the best form of the year. Likes to come off cover and chances go up if #6 blasts out and sets the tone for a quicker opening half.
5-Roar Hanover (7/2)-This will be the 2nd start for the Rhoades barn and Merriman. The last effort by this veteran was a marked improvement and is a must use.
6-Cinderella Delight (5/2)-Came off a sick scratch, then looked bumpy on the track and finished dead last on 10-16. Has missed a start and will include, does fit well with this crew if 100%. Has won 7 of 22 at Nfld and 8 of 36 this year so this mare does make a lot of starts. Willing to assume the connections have her in racing shape.
