Northfield Park begins the week with a 13-race card. The $1.00 Late Pick 4 starts in race 10 and the sequence will be my focus. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 10

1-High On Rocknroll (6/5)-Odds-on winner last week and it looks like this will be an encore at about the same price. Davis Jr should be in control or in the 2-hole and looks a cut above the rest.

Race 11

4-Big Fritz (8/5)-Won his last 2 races by a combined 17 3/4 lengths. This figures to be a sterner test but don't discount another trip to the winner's circle.
7-Type A Personality (3-1)-Fritz has made only 5 career starts and this 3-year-old has raced 26 times this year. Being more seasoned could help and does know how to win (26-14-6-2). It looks like a 2-horse race and both like to get on the engine. The price should be better than the one above but maybe the post edge will be the deciding factor.

Race 12

5-Cycline Banner N (9/2)-Willing to use Merriman in this spot and shoot against the morning line chalk #8 who is coming off a sick scratch. Has won 3 of 6 at Nfld and the last 2 times this pilot steered the night ended in the winner's circle.
7-Better Than Spring (7/2)-Has done well battling straight Open company and gets a post edge on #8 who is a tough foe. Does have the gate speed to get the top even with this post draw and may not look back.

Race 13

1-Tap Tap Tap (6-1)-Caught a great trip starting from the rail with a provisional driver last week. Claimed in last but the same pilot is back between the pipes and best to not discount the chances of tripping out again.
3-Lion Rock N (3-1)-This veteran has won 3 of 6 at Nfld and is in sharp form. Draws well and could get on the point and make every call a winning one.
7-Calvin K (5/2)-Won from this post 2 back and should be put in play with a chance to catch the leaders down the lane. Calvin knows his way to the winner's circle, winning 8 of 43 starts at Nfld.
