Northfield Park has a 13-race card, and the feature comes in Race 7, an Open Pace with an $18,000 purse. The $1.00 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 10. 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 10

5-Big Fritz (1/1)-Won for fun versus this kind last week, and unless there is a complete form reversal this should be the winner. The 3-year-old has had issues as this is only his 5th lifetime start, but when he does race, he is 3 for 4. The lone loss was the 1st start off the bench on 11-6 when the previous race was back on 4-10.

Race 11

1-Captainofrocknroll (6-1)-Should offer a solid price and is in a spot to get a suck-around trip. Can make some noise at this level with a sharp drive.
2-Te Amo Blue Chip (3-1)-Drew off at 1/2 and now steps-up but has the speed to take another picture. Does well racing near the top of the stack and that should be the case here.
4-Rockn Motion (2-1)-Drops to the level of its last win and there isn't anyone in this field to fear. Has won 16 of 72 at Nfld and Wrenn should provide an aggressive steer.

Race 12

4-Dancin With Rose (7/2)-Lands in a good spot to pick-up another 1/2 mile win and this is only the 2nd start at Nfld. Draws well and should be a player at this level.
7-Don'tmakeafoolofme (9/2)-Kreiser trainee drops to a spot to shine. Davis Jr takes a seat and that is a positive driver change. Has been fading down the lane so missing a start might help and the post draw should improve the price.

Race 13

1-On The Cards N (8/5)-Steps-up after winning nicely from the rail as an odds-on choice. This won't be as easy but fits with this crew.
3-Full Moon Beach (9/2)-Willing to toss last from the 7-hole. The fractions were soft and couldn't catch the leaders despite a 55.1 back half. This was Merriman's choice, could get the top and make every call a winning one. Has won 7 of 22 starts at Nfld.
