Northfield Park Pick-4, Races 8-11, Monday, Feb. 13, 2012
$1 play: 1-2-5/1-2-5/3-4-9/6 = $27.00
Race 8: (1) Beans And Weenies – Has the inside advantage, but may not be in the best form. (2) Category Six – Was parked-out last start; could win with a better trip. (5) Cunning Design – Looks to be in tip-top form but faces better tonight.
Race 9: (1) Extremely Fast – Returns from Pennsylvania and draws the rail; that could be a winning combination. (2) He’s The Bomb – Put on a big move last time but draws into a tougher division tonight. (5) Heza Star Cruiser – Looks to be one of the major players here.
Race 10: (3) Sweet Sobrina – Had post-eight last start; should do better with an improved post. (4) Scootonovernkissme – Another who has been drawing bad and could step-up tonight. (9) Art Of Desire – Should get a good trip from the second tier; races in a wide-open field.
Race 11: (6) Osborne’s Yankee – Drops in class and looks to crush his foes; this field could be at his mercy.
