Northfield Park begins the week with a 15-race card. The $1.00 Late Pick 4 with a $10,000 guaranteed pool starts in Race 11. The Spot Plays for tonight are in Race 6, Race 7, and Race 12. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.
Race 6 (7:50 PM EDT)
6-HP Terpsichore (12-1)-Finished 2nd against a well-meant winner in last. Has the gate speed to get another close-up seat. This is a camera shy group but has shown a win and a 2nd place finish in its last 2 starts at this level. Willing to use as a win play at the morning line price and in Exactas. Did move forward off the gate with James Day at the controls in last. He will be steering tonight and will look for an aggressive drive.
6-HP Terpsichore (12-1) to Win and in 2
Exacta Boxes 4-6, 6-8
Race 7 (8:12 PM EDT)
6-Bad Girls Racing (3-1)-Raced better than the last line looked to come 2nd considering the winner got away with a (.31) 2nd panel. Dan Noble wasn't going to be caught down the lane after that breather. Drops, and Chris Lems gets the call. Did win 3 levels higher the last time Lems drove, and he posts 24% winners when steering for the Brian Miller barn. Comes back in sequence and could have its way with this field with a smooth trip.
Exactas 6-1, 6-9
Race 12
7-U Going (4-1)-The post draw helps the price and has won 5 of 24 races at Nfld. Noble beat this kind on 3-22 on a sloppy track and this pilot posts 33% winners when teaming up with the Peter Stratton barn. Will fade the 3/2 choice #8 Silver Bentley and will add points with Noble landing here. Noble has one move to use and will rely on him to push the button at the right time.
Exactas 7/1,2,8
