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 (9:50 PM EDT)

2-The Real Way (7/2)-Ships in from Mea off a nice effort from post 7 to finish 2nd and now drops a notch. Has cashed checks versus better at Nfld and Aaron Merriman will be on the lead or close to it throughout.
4-Pocket The Cash N (6-1)-Chris Lems gets the nod and recent form has been dull but was facing Open company. Drops, could be overlooked and has enough gate speed to land a close-up seat.
5-Lake Charles (2-1)-Should be in the hunt but will likely not offer any value. Drops and should relish the company. May not look to get the top when the wings fold but can catch the leader coming off cover.

Race 12 (10:13 PM EDT)

2-Bryant Bros S (7/2)-Bumps up a couple of levels after going gate to wire and has won 3 of 6 at Nfld. With this post draw Chris Page could work a ground saving journey and be in the hunt at the wire.
7-Rose Run Zoom (7/2)-Dan Noble is at the controls and my take is he is going to have the pedal down. Should be able to land in a close-up seat. Looks like a threat to cash the top check if doesn't burn a lot of gas early in the mile.

Race 13 (10:36 PM EDT)

2-Master Yossi N (2-1)-Has had 2 starts since coming off the bench and didn't show much in either race but they were against much better. Takes a meaningful drop and Justine Irvine could get on the point and play catch me if you can.

Race 14 (10:59 PM EDT)

5-Hill Of A Night (9/5)-Beat the $8k claimers on 6-15, and since then hasn't been close at the wire. Drops to a soft spot, and this looks like a good opportunity to get back on the winning side of the ledger. Has won 4 of 14 this year, 21 of 76 at Nfld and no excuses are allowed tonight.

$3.00 Late Pick 4
