Northfield Park starts the week with a 15-race card. 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-Almanac (5/2)-Is only 2 for 17 here but has cashed checks versus better. Comes off a nice 2nd place effort in a quick mile on a good track. This could be a chalky beginning to the Pick 4 sequence.
5-Grantmeawish (2-1)-Faded in the last 2 starts at MVR and now lands in a good spot to post a win. Ships back here for a purpose and should be a main player. Nfld record is a perfect 2 for 2.

Race 12

6-Predator And Prey (7/2)-Suffered an interference break but still finished 2nd versus this kind in last. Has the gate speed to race on top or in the pocket and could be tough to beat with a smooth trip.
7-Light Blue Movers (5/2)-Has 2 recent wins at this class and Merriman has some options. Can race on the lead or come off a helmet and has done well here (34-13-5-8).

Race 13

4-Rockn Motion (5-1)-Looking for a solid price and the driver change to Myers shouldn't hurt. Needs a sharp steer and from this post that could happen. Might land on the point or in the pocket behind the one below, and either could work for a picture.
5-Zanetti (9/2)-Will toss last from post 7, should be out and rolling here. Merriman will likely want the top and play catch me if you can.
9-Bernie (9/2)-The 7-year-old son of Big Jim is in sharp form and this is the 2nd straight race starting from post 9. Not sure how he will get there but is worth a swing at the program price. Best to respect, just missed last week starting from the 2nd tier.

Race 14

3-Fly Charlie Fly (5-1)-Charlie comes off 2 even efforts but that was against straight Open company. Should have a lot more to offer versus this group. Has hit the board in 28 of 54 Nfld races and will hope the morning line price holds up in a drop and pop situation.
