Northfield Park has a 14-race card. The $1.00 Late Pick 4 starts 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 EST)

1-A Delightful Act N (9/2)-This level has been a challenge, but it looks like an open affair with a beatable field. Aaron Merriman sticks and he does well on Sam Schilacci trainees, posting 32% winners. Drawing the rail could be the winning difference and the morning line seems to high.
2-First Of Her Name (7/2)-Fits with this kind, last time there was a fast pace and was too far back off the gate. Being 12-length behind at the 1st call into a .55 opening half was not ideal. Will look for a more alert start and could make the most of a cozy trip.
7-Rockabillycockshut (10-1)-Has won 2 of the last 3 starts and the most recent picture came versus this kind. Likes to come off cover and can rally late. The drawback is being somewhat pace dependent, but the fractions should be honest here.

Race 12 (10:02 PM EST)

5-She Comes And Goes (5/2)-Beaten odds-on chalk was used up early in the mile. Merriman sticks, the trip should be more friendly and the price can be better.
9-Love That Smile (7/2)-Steps up off some even efforts but has beaten better in the past. Dan Noble knows well and he is between the pipes. Will likely need to rally from the backfield and might be a longer price than the morning line. Could wake up with a good trip.

Race 13 (10:24 PM EST)

1-PLays Pro (3-1)-Beaten 4/5 chalk wasn't used off the gate and was far back early after leaving from post 3. Raced wide, which isn't unusual, and could only rally enough to come 3rd. Should get a more efficient trip with this post draw. Then Jason Thompson will need to push the button at the right time.
5-Pams For Real (5-1)-Often shows some gate speed and lands in a good early seat. That wasn't the case last time. Will look for a better effort, and for Justin Irvine to have in a position to win turning for the wire.
9-Evelyna Itis (6-1)-Went gate to wire in last and paid off at 6-1 versus this kind. Has been in sharp form and leaving from the 2nd tier helps the price. It won't be easy to get off the gate and get the lead early in the mile. But has an upset chance if Braiden Rhodes works a good trip in a race without a standout.

Race 14 (10:46 PM EST)

1-Stay Salty (7/5)-The mare does its best work getting on the point when the wings fold. Noble should have that plan in mind and with this post draw can be a main player.
7-Maggie Time (5/2)-The Kresier entry is looking for its 3rd straight after going gate to wire in the last 2 starts. Merriman will be at the controls again, but those wins came after leaving from post 3. The post draw helps the price and could land in the pocket for a trip out 3-peat.
