Northfield Park has a 15-race card with the $1.00 Late Pick 4 starting 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 fast track.

Race 11 (9:40 PM EDT)

4-Pocket The Cash N (5/2)-Rolled the back half in 55.3 versus Open Handicap company but couldn't catch the winner. Went gate to wire the last time in against this kind on 3-2 with Chris Lems at the controls. Left from post 3 that night and was bet down to even money. Will look for a similar trip this time with the same result.

Race 12 (10:02 PM EDT)

4-Villiam (8-1)-Team Chindano entry was racing with Open company at BR and could be overlooked here. Assuming the connections don't have an issue with the turns. Will look for an aggressive steer and will try to play catch me if you can in its Nfld debut.
7-Night Shadow (5/2)-Ronnie Wrenn had the pedal down and there was no holding back. Landed on the point and went to the half in .55 and hit the 3/4's at 123.3. The pace took its toll down the lane and faded to come 3rd. My feeling is there is early speed inside so the pace could be hot, if so the veteran could come off cover and finish best of all.

Race 13 (10:22 PM EDT)

2-Fred's Nightmare (5-1)-Raced evenly against this kind and comes right back at the same level but draws inside. The veteran can leave in a hurry and has a pilot in Joe Chindano that likes to leave with the pedal down. Best to not overlook, could get the jump off the gate and be tough to tackle.
9-One Last Laugh (2-1)-This is a check casher who at this point in his career is camera shy. Raced evenly when facing Open Handicap company, dropped last week and took the long way around to come 3rd. Drops again and should be a main player with a sharp steer from Lems.

Race 14 (10:46 PM EDT)

2-Don't Take My Keys (7/2)-Ships back from MVR and had a troubled trip in last and lost all chance with 2 breaks. Will toss that race, returns to its favorite track and lands in a nice spot to take a picture. Cashed checks versus better when last here and should be put in play when the wings fold.
4-Cornstar (4-1)-Raced big against Open Handicap company in the 1st start since 11-21. Faded down the lane to finish 2nd and now drops. The Cox barn wins at a 22% clip with trotters. This looks like a player and could be bet down.
8-Rose Run Zoom (5/2)MVR shipper has done well at Nfld (6-1-2-1). Should be a threat but has been idle since 3-26 and that's the one cause for pause. Starting from the 8-hole will make it a challenge but doesn't have to lead every step of the way to win.
