Northfield Park starts the week with a 15-race card and the Early Pick 4 begins in Race 7. The sequence has a $10,000 guaranteed pool and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 7

3-Rock N Jo Z (2-1)-Drops to a good level and draws well. Looks like a major player and should have a good chance of taking 1st picture in 10 starts this year.
4-Norm At Work (5/2)-Steps-up after an easy score on 6/28. Has beaten better here and has 16 wins in 75 starts at Nfld. Page may blast out and has the gate speed to get a good seat.

Race 8

5-CC Bank (7/2)-Using Stga invader rather than #1 the ML chalk who is coming off a break. Has a win, a 2nd, and a 3rd place finish at Nfld in 6 outings and should be forwardly placed. Not much gate speed in here and R. Wrenn has options.
7-Global Ice (4-1)-0-32 isn't inspiring but rallied on 6/28 in lone Nfld start versus better and should like the company. It could be time for an aggressive try in 3rd start of 2020 and 3rd start for new barn.
9-Master Mighty (4-1)-The post draw doesn't help but 9-year-old drops to a soft spot. Grismore may need some luck and also provide a good steer but is worth a swing. Likes the track and leads the field in money earned in 2019.

Race 9

1-Odds On Athens (7/2)-Likes to race on the lead and can get there. Wrenn returns and he knows well, this duo won here on 6/10. Should be a major threat if minds manners.
3-Escape The House (7/2)-Does race the fair circuit but also has won at Nfld in 153.2 last year. Merriman takes the lines and he has notched a win with this filly. May leave and get a pocket trip behind #1 but could win off cover as well.

Race 10

4-Locamotion Fred (5-1)-Fred has not gotten off to good start after the return to action but best to respect here. Should like the company and 5-year-old has the gate speed to get a good seat. Merriman steers in 1st start at Nfld since 3/3.
6-American Trademark (8/5)-Program chalk makes Nfld debut. Wrenn will likely blast out and look to stay in control.
7-Andale Andale (4-1)-Returns to Nfld looking for 3rd win in 7 starts and regular pilot is back in the bike. If pace is quick chances go up. This is an honest horse so best to respect.
