Northfield Park has a 15-race program ready for 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

3-Etbauer (5/2)-Beaten chalk broke 4th leaving from the 2nd tier and Merriman hit the go button early and brushed to the top. That move took some starch out of the 4-year-old but finished a clear 2nd best. Looking for a more efficient trip this time.
6-Jovian (20-1)-Price shot can compete versus this kind but needs a live cover flow and a quick pace. If the one below leaves the fractions should be lively and Davis Jr could close fastest of all.
7-Moscow Mitch (5/2)-The post helps the price and has the gate speed to land on the point or in the 2-hole behind #3. Has hit the board in 12 of 15 at Nfld with 5 pictures and is in sharp form.

Race 12

2-FG's Mondo Packrat (5-1)-Got parked from the 8-hole in last at 91-1 and has missed a start. Gets a positive driver change in Myers, has the speed to beat these and now draws inside. Hoping for a good steer and for the public to overlook.
3-Lexington Avenue (20-1)-This longshot has been out racing his odds and won at this level 2 back at 38-1. Looking to fade the 8/5 morning line chalk who starts from post 9 in his 2nd start since June.

Race 13

4-Remembering Shorty (8-1)-Camera shy 6-year-old has developed a winning touch in 2023 capturing 2 of the last 4 starts. This will be the 2nd straight steer for Myers, will look for a better trip and to be in striking range at the top of the lane.
6-Leonardo Hanover (7-1)-Gets needed post relief and has the gate speed to be on the lead or in the pocket off the gate. Does better when forwardly placed and should be a square price.

Race 14

2-Devil Or Angel (2-1)-Looking at some droppers in this leg that could battle. Merriman takes over, so there won't be much value to be found but should be racing near the lead.
3-Step On The Gas (5/2)-Didn't show much in a needed start when dropped to this level on 2-5. Missed a couple of starts before that race and now gets a ++ driver change in Wrenn. Should perform well with this kind and could be sitting on a big try.
6-Medoland Brutus (9/2)-Comes off an improved effort versus better. Davis Jr grabs the lines and that could help. Doesn't have big gate speed but should be in the mix at the wire with this group. Needs a sharp steer and honest fractions, and the two above could help provide a quick pace.
