Northfield Park has a 15-race card. The Spot Plays for tonight are in Race 2, Race 8, and Race 14. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 2 (6:22 PM EDT)

7-Bestiesforresties (5-1)-The last 2 starts came on a sloppy track and cashed smaller checks. Hasn't hit the board in 4 tries on a wet surface but has hit the board in 3 of 9 at HoP with 1 picture. Stays at the same level, did come a game 3rd from the 9-hole and didn't have the best of trips. Posted a win 3 back starting from post 1. Will look for better on a fast track at a square price.
9-Tella Babe (8-1)-This 5-year-old makes only its 4th lifetime start and could offer a juicy price. Just about came to a stop back in April in its debut. Lost all chance with broken equipment on 6-7 and then went off-stride in the slop on 6-14. Braiden Rhoades drove in a qualifier on 6-25 and finished 3rd on a "Good" track. Tried to go gate to wire and faded but did stay flat. Will look to beat the 3/2 choice, #4-Ms Marshamarsha. Showed improvement in the last tune-up and will use with one above in Exactas versus a suspect field.
7-9-4

Race 8 (8:34 PM EDT)

2-Win After Whisky (5-1)-The 3-year-old has looked good since arriving in town (3-1-2-0). Likes to go gate to wire and tried that plan in last but faded. Odds-on chalk could make amends tonight at a square price and will look for better here. Raced last on 6-20, but that start came after a sick scratch and was off almost a month.
2-3-1

Race 14 (10:46 PM EDT)

7-Crosswinds Sweetpe (7-1)The John Ciocca trainee posted 8 wins last year and is only 1-8 in 2026. But should offer a price and may have met a beatable field. Came off the bench 3 back on 7-7, and was in too deep. Then dropped to a soft spot and popped on a sloppy track. Missed a start, then made a double step up and didn't cash a check racing in the slop again. Has the gate speed to be forwardly placed and on the drop in class can be a player with a sharp steer.
