Northfield Park has a 15-race card with the $1.00 Late Pick 4 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 EDT)

2-Greatest Ending (9/2)-Finished 1st in 2 straight but was Dq'd in last and now steps up. Does well getting on the engine and will look for that plan tonight. Should be on the point or in the pocket and can offer a square price.
5-Cocosdream A (5/2)-Left from post 4 in last, got the top and faded late to finish 2nd. Went off at 3/2, will be a better price, and should be out and rolling. Set a lively pace last time and could be tough to tackle if is able to steal a quarter.
6-Rockntheroad (4-1)-Was bet down to 4/5 and broke stride at the start versus this kind on 6-16. Ronnie Wrenn will be steering this time, and he knows well. The Burke trainee should fit with this crew.

Race 12 (10:02 PM EDT)

4-Darbyshire (5-1)-Ships in from ScD off some so-so efforts but was facing better. Will look for an aggressive steer from AMac and has the gate speed to a good early seat.
5-Heavensdor Hanover (9-1)-Comes off an even effort and Justin Irvine is another who has good gate speed to use. With this post draw it wouldn't be a shock if left hard for the top and tried to go gate to wire.
9-Rose Run Zoom (9/5)-Program chalk steps up after an easy drop and pop win leaving from post 2. Aaron Merriman will need to work a trip from post 9. But has been cashing checks versus Open company and will look for a big try.

Race 13 (10:24 PM EDT)

1-Lake Charles (3-1)-This will be the 3rd start after a sick scratch has been dull in the previous 2 races. Gets class relief, draws inside and this could be a prime wake-up spot. Did beat Open company in the spring and should be a main player if 100%.
3-Rock The Hill (5/2)-This 4-year-old has a win versus similar 2 back and came 2nd against Open company last time. Joe Chindano knows how to blast out and the plan will be to land on the point. Should be tough to collar if steals a quarter.

Race 14 (10:46 PM EDT)

1-Shell Yea (5/2)-Dropped and popped in last at 1/9 and now bumps up a few levels. Comes off the best effort this year and will look for the upswing to continue. Did beat this kind in December and could do it again here.
7-Jim Blue (12-1)-Will swing for a price and hope Kody Massey can have the veteran in position to win. Does have the gate speed to get a good early seat. With an aggressive drive and a smooth trip, the Kreiser trainee could win for the 5th time this year.
