Northfield Park has a 15-race card. The $1.00 Pick 5 starts in Race 6, and it will be my focus. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 6 (7:50 PM EDT)

1-Mystical View (5/2)-This will be the 4th race for the Betty Clegg barn and broke in one start at a Fair. Gets a ++ driver change in Aaron Merriman, which makes for a smaller price. Hoosier shipper has the speed to win but needs to mind its manner.
4-Vendetta Blue Chip (3/2)-Short price chalk has a tactical advantage over others who are in the mix. Justine Irvine has gate speed to work with and should be no worse than in the pocket around the opening turn.

Race 7 (8:12 PM EDT)

1-Deep Satin (7/5)-Raced once at Nfld and lost by a nose. Has been facing tougher competition and should have her way with this field. Stands out but wasn't an automatic single because the pilot has only driven 83 times in the past 365 days and wins about as often as the seasons change. That said, from the rail this is a chance to break its maiden in a field full of those who don't like to win.

Race 8 (8:34 PM EDT)

8-Crimson Blue (4-1)-Fired hot off the bench to come a good 2nd. Now ships in from the Mea and makes its Nfld debut. Braiden Rhoades trains and steers and showed good speed in last. The only mare in the field could connect if gets a smooth trip.
9-Newswriter (6-1)-This is the 3rd start in town and improved in the last race. The post helps the price and if Kody Massy can work an efficient trip this is a suck-around win candidate at a square price.

Race 9 (8:56 PM EDT)

2-Just A Pleasure (3-1)-Couldn't seal the deal in last but this is the level where a win could happen. That was the case 3 back, won off a 2-hole trip and could follow a similar plan here.
3-Rocknstarletngray (3-1)-Logical player has been 1st of 2nd in the last 4 starts and can get a top of the stack trip tonight. Gets a positive driver change in Justin Irvine and should be a small price.
4-Tomi Senorita (5-1)-Will use Merriman in this spot because if the top two are off their game he could challenge down the lane. This feels like a Rhoades-Merriman special, gets a form spike and a special trip.

Race 10 (9:18 PM EDT)

1-Hello In There (7/2)-Come off a big effort, hung the mile against this kind and finished a close 3rd leaving from post 6. Loses Ronnie Wrenn but draws the rail and Chris Lems can get the job done.
5-Sarah Said (3-1)-Tried to go gate to wire in the 1st start in the Garry Martin barn but faded late to finish a close 4th. That was the 1st race in over 5 weeks here and could be sitting on big try tonight.
9-Maggie Time (15-1)-The price is right to take a swing and will look for Tyler Angus to get away in a decent seat when the wings fold. Needs a trip but could pop at a big number if in play on the final turn.
