Northfield Park has a $1.00 Pick 5 that starts in Race 6, and it features a double carryover of $21,048. The sequence has an estimated pool of $80,000 with a 14% takeout, and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 6 (7:50 PM EST)

6-Ideal Destiny (2-1)-Shipped in from MVR and raced well to finish a close 2nd after being off 19 days. Luke Hanners sticks, has the gate speed to be forwardly placed, makes its 3rd start off a sick scratch and has won 5 of 15 at Nfld.
8-The Gypsy Queen IR (5/2)-Meadows shippers makes its Nfld debut, should fit with this crew and has won 7-straight. The Burke entry could offer a fair price with the outside draw. Has the gate speed to leave hard for the point and should be heard from if the turns aren't an issue.

Race 7 (8:12 PM EST)

2-My Red Sea (7/5)-Comes in off a 4-race win streak versus similar and now goes from Greg Grismore to Ronnie Wren who knows well.
5-Lady Angel (3-1)-This mare likes to travel, racing at 4 different tracks in the last 5 outings. Has been claimed in the last 4 starts split between the Macomber and Miller barns. Just missed getting on the engine in last. Beaten odds-on chalk could make amends.

Race 8 (8:34 PM EST)

4-Ellianna R (7/2)-Has won 3 of 11 at Nfld, loses Kurt Sugg but Hunter Myers can do the job. Comes off a sharp effort to win and this won't be as easy. But should be in the hunt for another picture.
6-Field Tested (3-1)-Aaron Merriman should have enough gate speed to work with to race near the top of the stack. Has won 4 of 8 here, could get the top and make every call a winning one. Only issue might be, this is 3rd outing in 9-days, but did miss a couple of starts before this string of races.

Race 9 (8:56 PM EST)

1-Mississippidragon (5/2)-Camera shy mare gets a positive driver change in Merriman, draws the rail, and drops. Needs to be better and this could be wake-up time.
3-Elvette Hanover (8/5)-This is another lady who doesn't enjoy posing but should fit well with this less than formful field. Hanners could have the pedal down to get the top and control the mile.

Race 10 (9:18 PM EST)

2-Racing Glory (2-1)-Takes a meaningful drop in class and does good work at Nfld (11-3-3-1). Myers should be able to work a cozy trip from this post. This is a drop and pop candidate that deserves respect.
6-Filly Speaks (4-1)-Meadows shipper has won 2 of 7 at Nfld and each time tonight's pilot Ronnie Wrenn was between the pipes. Needs a trip and has shown big gate speed when racing here in December on a sloppy track. Will look for an aggressive drive and should be a square price.
