Northfield Park has a 16-race card, and the $1.00 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 11. The sequence has a $10,000 guaranteed pool with a 14% takeout, and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 11 (9:20 PM EST)

1-Vel Mr Steve (5-1)-Took advantage of a quick pace and rolled home at 27-1. Consistent check casher doesn't look out of place after drawing the rail. Does step up but is competitive and should offer a square price.
6-Why Tomorrow Ray (2-1)-Has been trying hard against stiff competition. Aaron Merriman gets the call for the Bill Rhoades barn and could have his way with this field. Should get the top or the 2-hole when the wings fold.

Race 12 (9:42 PM EST)

5-Fame And Power (4-1)-Took off from the rail in last but faded down the lane. Willing to excuse the collapse on a sloppy track. Wet track record is 0-24, tonight Justine Irvine could get on the point and this time he will make every call a winning one.
9-Oberlin (5/2)-This veteran, like the entire field does not like to win. Broke stride 2 back and raced better with Merriman at the controls in last on a sloppy track. Should offer a fair price and faces a soft bunch. Will use with the positive driver change and coming off an improved effort.

Race 13 (10:04 PM EST)

1-Twin B Fighter (7/2)-Pocono invader hasn't raced since 11-23 but has banked over $89k this year. Ronnie Wrenn grabs the lines for the Nfld debut. When Wrenn and Kresier team up they click for 38% winners and can add to that total if fires hot off the bench.
3-Brooklyns Carmine (8-1)-Won 2 back versus this kind, then had a bumpy trip on a sloppy track and fell short but raced well. Looking for an aggressive steer and Kurt Sugg could provide a winning trip with this post draw.

Race 14 (10:26 PM EST)

2-Dougs Jaxx (9/2)-Winner of 2 of the last 3 starts steps up and should be a player. Merriman could provide a cozy trip and double up. Will look to this recent winner and fade the program chalk #3.
5-JW'S Chrome (3-1)-The Holzman trainee makes its 2nd start after a sick scratch and knows how to beat this kind. Could be sitting on a big try and might be overlooked at the windows.
