Northfield Park begins the week with a 16-race card. The Spot Plays are in Race 6, Race 7, and Race 11. They can be played to win or in gimmicks, and should be solid prices. The $1 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 11, and it has a $10,000 guaranteed pool. The feature is also in race 11, an Open Handicap Trot with a $20,500 purse.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 6 (7:50 PM EDT)

7-Dancin Suzy (9/2)-Could get a square price with this Dan Noble guided 4-year-old mare. Seemed to wake up last time after a string of dull efforts. My take is as soon as the wings fold this gal will be sent to the top. Could get the jump on #3, the even money choice who is a 3-year-old. Should be difficult to tackle if things go well around the opening turn.

7-3-1

Race 7 (8:12 PM EDT)

4-Dandy's MNM (7-1)-Hoosier shipper makes its 3rd start in Ohio and 2nd at Nfld. Should be better acclimated and gets a ++ driver change in Aaron Merriman. Can offer a big price, needs a trip, and will rely on Merriman to execute a winning plan.

4-3-9

Race 11 (9:40 PM EDT)

6-Abbey D (7/2)-Moves in one slot after missing a start and then was hung the mile leaving from post 7. Comes back in sequence, Noble sticks and should get a smoother trip. Has won 3 of 8 at Nfld and knows how to beat this kind.

6-4-1
