Northfield Park has a loaded 16-race card. The headliner goes in Race 12, the Carl Milstein Memorial with a $300,000 purse. The $1.00 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 12. The sequence has an estimated $10,000 pool with a 14% takeout, and it will be my focus. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 12 (10:02 PM EDT)

6-Swingtown (8-1)-Has been very consistent this year and has raced at 4 different tracks. Makes it season debut at Nfld after winning 3 of the last 4 starts. Has hit the board in 2 of 3 races at Nfld and has taken 1 picture. The post makes the price, and this horse doesn't get as much respect as it should. Ronnie Wrenn can grind it out if necessary and hopefully won't be bet down.
9-Twisted Destiny (5/2)-Had its 4-race win streak snapped in the Adios after being hung the mile and still just missed. This will be its Nfld debut but has high marks on the 1/2 at Yonkers. The 2nd tier should help the price a little and will land here and fade the 2-1 program chalk Prince Hal Hanover who also is 1st time Nfld. Dexter Dunn should find a way to work a smooth 2nd tier trip.

Race 13 (10:24 PM EDT)

4-Hurrikane Msrodine (12-1)-This is hodgepodge affair and this mare pays its own way but hasn't proved itself at this level. The same could be said about the entire field, so she does fit and has won 2 of the last 3. The question mark is the trip, but if John Ciocca can provide a smooth journey this gal could surprise.
6-Think Of Galaxies (3-1)-This will be the 3rd start after being off a few weeks. Trainer Cory Kreiser has steered in the last 2 races and now she should be tight enough. Looks like a main player with Aaron Merriman at the controls and this is go-time.

Race 14 (10:46 PM EDT)

2-Spanky McGee (9/2)-This is another who fits and the issue will be if the driver gets high marks. Mike Micallef drives, trains, and draws well enough to be in the mix. Could be overlooked and will use and hope the trip is smooth.
4-When Is Parade (6-1)-Broke stride 2 back in the only Nfld start and last week was raced cautiously from post 7. Draws well and Chris Page should get a good early seat. Hasn't missed the board in all 3 races and could offer a square price.
7-Odds On Sugar (5/2)-Merriman was in the bike for the last race at ScD, broke stride at the start and rallied to finish a beaten 2nd. There are question marks in this race, and the colt has been a slow starter. Dexter Dunn gets the nod, and a new set of hands may do the trick.

Race 15 (11:08 PM EDT)

1-Mega Money (3/2)-This filly gets post relief, and Merriman steers for trainer Chris Beaver. Has been racing well and picked up 2 wins in 4 starts at Nfld. The race probably goes through this gal but will offer no value.
2-Dream Something (3-1)-This filly has beaten the morning line choice and raced well in last after being off 26 days. Comes right back this time and has always showed up racing against this company. Could benefit from a pocket trip, be the best down the lane, and hopefully won't be bet down. Northfield record is also good (5-2-0-1).
