Al Cimaglia: Northfield Park Late Pick 4 Analysis | Saturday, May 10, 2025

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

Race 11 (9:40 PM EDT)

3-Eveninstarzrapsody (8-1)-Drops to a competitive level, and has the gate speed to race near the top of the stack.
Will look for a dry track and should be a large price.
5-Magical Mistress (3-1)-The last 2 efforts have been good and was racing in the slop on 5-3. Kody Massey makes his 2nd straight appearance and could go off at a better price than the morning line.
6-Ashlee's Amanda (5-1)-Returns from Hoosier where the going was tough in the last 2 starts. Was facing Open company when last here. Drops to a soft spot and with a good trip could take picture but the morning line price seems high.

Race 12 (10:02 PM EDT)

1-Race Day (4-1)-Comes off a dull start but that was in the slop and will toss. Has the gate speed to get a pocket ride and looks like a suck-around win candidate at a solid price.
3-Vehement (7/5)-This a player with a smooth trip but there are question marks. Hasn't shown big gate speed but tonight AMac could look to get on the engine. Should be in the hunt at the wire with a small price.

Race 13 (10:24 PM EDT)

3-So Stacked (6-1)-Has drawn the rail and post 7 two times each in the last 4 starts. But the track has been sloppy when getting the rail, and is 0-16 on an off-track. Will look for a big try from the inside and hope the track is fast.
5-Rockadella (3-1)-Raced wide in last on a sloppy track and this is another who hasn't won on a wet surface 0-15. The 0-11 record this year is cause for pause but had some excuses. Should be in line for a picture with a smooth trip.

Race 14 (10:46 PM EDT)

1-Native Currancy (5/2)-Came with a strong effort after winning and stepping up to face this kind. Has been camera shy but should be no worse than in 2-hole off the gate, and may have met a beatable field.
3-Crytel Shadow (9/2)If Mario Wilson can work an efficient trip this mare could be posing. Has been trying hard in the last 4 races. Might be overlooked and could reward backers with a solid mutuel.
