Northfield Park has a 15-race card featuring Ohio Sires Stakes action. The Spot Plays are in Race 5, Race 8, and Race 11. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.
Race 5 (7:28 PM EDT)
8-Mollys Ace N (9/2)-Beat this kind back in April, then faced better and the water was too deep. Dan Noble steers and was between the pipes on 4-11. Went gate to wire that night leaving from post 4 against this kind. Comes off a dull try and now drops to a level of past success. Camera-shy mare has the gate speed to land in a decent seat off the car. Noble should be aggressive against this field. If things go well around the opening turn it could lead to a picture at a square price.
8-Mollys Ace N (9/2) Betting to Win
8-5-4
Race 8 (8:34 PM EDT)
3-Rock Son (6-1)-Noble gets the call tonight and that could make a winning difference. First time Noble attracts interest but the 3-year-old has only 2 wins and should offer a square price. Raced at Nfld and took a picture going gate to wire. Seems to do its best work racing at the top of the stack and should get that trip here. Will use on top and underneath in Exactas.

Race 11 (9:40 PM EDT)
5-Myboypank (9/2)-Looking for a solid price and the Tony Alagna pupil came off the bench hot (5-3-2-0). The son of Catch The Fire is versatile, can win coming off cover, on the lead or racing near the top. Finished 3rd in its only start at Nfld and has done good work facing Ohio Sires Stakes company. Comes off a sharp effort to finish 2nd and could be sitting on a big try.
5-Myboypank (9/2)-Betting to Win
5-2-4
