Hawthorne Racecourse will have 12 races set to go tonight. The 0.50 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 9. The sequence has a $15,000 guaranteed pool, and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 9

5-Incredible Man (5/2)-Tried a different tactic in getting on the point and almost lasted. That may not be the plan tonight but should be a player regardless.
7-Fox Valley Monaco (2-1)-Has been consistent since shipping back to Illinois. Willfong should put in play and it looks like this could be the time for the 2nd picture of the year.

Race 10

3-Fox Valley Jasper (1-1)-Jasper is making only the 3rd start of his freshman season and looks like a good one. Seems to have a nose for the wire and has some versatility.
6-Henry The Horse (7/2)-This is another game 2-year-old that tries hard without the best of trips. Certainly, looks like a main player here.

Race 11

5-Ms Good Goobly Goo (9/5)-Could be over bet but tough to leave out. Shows decent speed and should enjoy the company.
6-Ain't She Special (15-1)-Had a rough trip in last but kept coming. Willing to take a swing at this price and 2nd time Lasix could help.
9-KP'S Magic Macy (12-1)-Will take a stab at a price in a chalky sequence. This filly could benefit from some lively fractions and that looks like a possibility.

Race 12

2-Marys Pretty Girl (6-1)-Qualified nicely on 7-9 with Leonard in the bike but he steers his own (#6) so Husted takes over. This mare has won 7 of 23 in Stickney and could surprise at a square price if fires hot off the bench.
4-Eliza Dushku N (7/2)-Veteran mare doesn't often win these days but lands in a soft spot. Comes off a good try to finish 2nd but faded late. May have met a beatable field.

0.50 Late Pick 4
