Northfield Park has a 15-race program with the $1.00 Late Pick starting in Race 11. The sequence has a $10,000 guaranteed pool, with a 14% takeout, and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 11 (9:40 PM EST)

3-Just Bookem (7/2)-Should be racing on the lead or close to it. Gets class relief and might be able to wire this field.
4-Captainofrocknroll (5/2)-Dropped to this level and came a beaten 2nd to a well-meant winner who isn't in this group. Should be in front or just behind the one above turning for the wire.

Race 12 (10:02 PM EST)

1-Bettor In Cash (5-1)-Not sure leaving from the rail is the best slot for this 6-year-old and the pilot will need to do his part. But can be in the hunt if in striking range turning for the wire and should offer a square price.
3-Tick's A Yankin (5/2)-Has beaten better here and likes the track (70-17-11-8). Merriman should have in play off the gate and could offer a fair price.
4-Elver Hanover (9/5)-Took the long way around versus this kind in last and that trip didn't work well. Gets a positive driver change in Wrenn, that could make a winning difference but can't completely trust. Will be a small price, is 0-10 this year and no excuses allowed tonight.

Race 13 (10:24 PM EST)

4-One Last Laugh (9/2)-Steps up but has beaten this kind before and was a close 2nd on 5-21. Myers should be racing with the leaders and could beat this bunch with a sharp steer.
6-Lancaster Hill (6-1)-Has won 3 straight and the case could be made this is a drop in class, either way fits with this crew. Hasn't gotten much respect at the windows and Davis Jr has provided flawless drives in every victory. Won't win forever but best to respect again.

Race 14 (10:46 PM EST)

2-Fear The Blaze (9/5)-Skimmed the pylons, got an efficient trip and it led to a picture. That was the 1st win in 6 starts, may have gotten a confidence boost and should be a main player again.
5-Stay Special (2-1)-Was driven aggressively in its Nfld debut from the 8 hole but was hung and then faded. Could rebound here, not liking the short price but can be put in play off the gate this time.

$1.00 Late Pick 4

3,4/1,3,4/4,6/2,5
Total Bet=$24
