Harness Analyst – Northfield 26th March carryover pick five

Tonight’s harness racing action features a Pick 5 carryover of close to $5,000 at Northfield Park.

Remember, the takeout on this wager is a bettor friendly 14%.  Here is a look at the sequence and hopefully a winning ticket.

 Race 6: 1,3

(1) POWER BLU likely needed last week’s start after missing a month and he did show some life late in the mile with a wide move. He should lay much closer to the front this time and he is in with an upset chance.

(3) ALWAYS A HERO beat the choice last week racing off the Cory Kreiser claim, and he is the obvious one to beat in here.

Race 7: 1,2,6,9

(1) MASTER CONFECTION just finished 2nd at this level after starting from post 8, so he is hard to leave out now moving to the best post.

(2) DEROSA is 2 for 7 this year and he is capable when he flashes gate speed. Davis Jr. will likely get aggressive with him at the start and that makes him worth using here at 10 to 1 in the morning line.

(6) FINNIAN HANOVER shows two good efforts at this level before he broke stride and even though he has missed some time, he is worth a look at 20 to 1 in the morning line.

(9) GATOR CLUB has only won two of his last 40 starts, but his current form is good, and he should get a good start following Master Confection. He is in with a decent chance in this field.

Race 8: 1,3

(1) MONACO HANOVER will no doubt be the one to catch here and drawing better means he will likely have a much easier time making front. He is the one to beat.

(3) STARSNSTRIPES GB had an adventurous 2024 debut. Now he gets a much better post and a driver upgrade to Sugg. He can improve sharply here.

Race 9: 1,2,5

(1) BOBS REDEMPTION gets Merriman and he draws the rail again after racing first up last week. He can win here if he gets an easier trip.

(2) KAWABUNGA beat several of tonight’s rivals last week, and he draws well again. He is an obvious top contender here.

(5) ATTABOY LLOYD led the top two to the lane then got passed by Kawabunga. He draws a better post here and that makes him a threat.

Race 10: 4

(4) FIREWORKS FLASH paced a sub-29 third quarter racing uncovered last week and he still fired home in :29.4 to take a share. He drops and he hasn’t raced this low in a very long time. He will be my single in this sequence.

My ticket – 13/1269/13/125/4 = $48

Good luck with your tickets!
