Northfield Park has a 15-race card. The $1.00 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 11, and it will be my focus. The sequence has a low 14% takeout and a $10,000 guaranteed pool. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 11 (9:50 PM EDT)

2-Jim Blue (7/2)-Gets much-needed post relief and drops to the level of its last win on 3-30. Should be out and rolling when the wings fold. A top of the stack trip should be coming and could be tough to tackle.
3-Dragthechipsmyway (3-1)-The Ron Burke entry hasn't been very sharp but that could change here. Comes right back, draws inside, and drops to a more competitive level. Ronnie Wrenn is between the pipes this time and should be very close to the one above all the way around.

Race 12 (10:13 PM EDT)

3-Flemsteen (9/2)-Chris Beaver 4-year-old ships in from MVR and has won 4 of 10 starts at Nfld. Aaron Merriman gets the nod and he wins 19% of his drives for this barn. Should be in play early on and could offer a fair price.
7-Rose Run Zoom (5-1)-Last time, left into a 27.1 opening quarter from post 5. Worked to get the top and still drew off by over 5 lengths facing this kind. Comes off its fastest race at Nfld and can double up with a similar effort.
9-Scottish (3-1)-Ships in from Yonkers and cashed checks in the John Brennan Series. Should fit will here and has won 3 of 6 at Nfld. Could get off the gate in decent shape following #2, who has some gate speed.

Race 13 (10:36 PM EST)

2-Andale Andale (9-1)-Needs an inside post draw to have the best chance to win and gets significant post relief. The price is right to take a swing and could surprise with a sharp drive.
5-The Golden Jet (3-1)-Likes the slop, won last on a wet track and now bumps up. Might be overlooked, has the gate speed to get on the point again. Has beaten this kind before and best to respect as a double up possibility.
6-Elver Hanover (7/5)-Has been facing better and was in too deep. This is a spot to shine, but not sure can win without having the lead going into the stretch. Ronnie Wrenn knows the same and should be aggressive when the wings fold.

Race 14 (10:59 PM EST)-

1-News Caster (2-1)-Cory Kreiser owns, trains, and drives this 5-year-old who has hit the board in 12 of 24 at Nfld with 5 pictures. Will overlook the last race in the slop from the 9-hole and the trip was rough. Meets a beatable field, this horse isn't as camera shy as the rest and should get a smooth trip leaving from the rail.
