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)

1-Cruising Zone (5/2)-Won at Dela in last and has finished 1st or 2nd in races at ScD. Recent form has been too good to ignore and with this post draw is a main player.
5-Woodrow Blue Chip (9-1)-Justine Irving may not get the top off the car but he should get a very good seat. If the Ryan Miller trainee races near the top of the stack the 9-1 shot should be in the mix at the line.
7-Unique Catch (12-1)-Will look for another price in this leg and Aaron Merriman is a new set of hands. Nfld record merits respect (8-3-2-1) and this 3-year-old can take some air.
8-Fly High Cruiser (7/2)-Went gate to wire at Dela and did pretty much the same from post 8 at ScD 2 back. The post helps the price and has won 2 of 3 at Nfld. Will respect the chances of a 3-peat with Dan Noble doing the steering.

Race 12 (10:02 PM EDT)

5-Heerz Corinthian (7/2)-Has had a nice year winning 4 of 8 and is looking for its 3rd straight picture. There should be lively fractions, and this is a stalker who could pick up the pieces.
6-Hunka Hunka (4-1)-This is another who is in sharp form. Wins at Nfld, ScD, Dela and the fair circuit. Kurt Sugg should be headed toward the point when the wings fold. Looks like a player with a smooth trip.
8-Odds On RPJ (8-1)-Finished a beaten 2nd in Dela but the winner (7) got the jump on the field and had his way on the lead. The post helps the price and should offer value with Merriman steering on this oval. Won from the 7-hole on 7-19 and that was its last race at Nfld.

Race 13 (10:24 PM EDT)

6-Sualsbrook Mabel (2-1)-Makes the 3rd start for the Corey Kreiser barn. Was in good form before the claim and stayed sharp. Lands in a good spot to double up. Showed big speed off the car in last with a 25.4 opening quarter. Should be out and rolling again as Dan Noble sticks. Could get on the engine and make every call a winning one.

Race 14 (10:46 PM EDT)

5-Legendary L (3-1)-Team LeVan 3-year-old likes to win, draws well, and fits. The filly has good gate speed and should be racing near the top of the stack. Can be in the hunt at the wire with a good trip.
7-Queen Of Fear (7/2)-Not sure what happened with the Ineligible scratch at Dayton in last. This filly would be the program chalk if drew inside. Has hit the board in 5 of 7 at Nfld with 4 pictures and could add to that to total if dialed on high. Looks like a major threat and will probably be bet down.
