Hoosier Park has a 14-race card to begin the weekend. The 0.50 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 11, and the sequence will be my focus. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 11 (9:45 PM EST)

2-BB Lucky Boy (9/2)-Comes off a win versus easier at ScD, ships in for the 2nd start of this meet and should offer a square price. Has the gate speed to be forwardly placed and fits with this crew.
4-Creekside Johnny (7/2)-Likes this oval (19-5-5-3), and with this post draw should get an efficient trip. May have met a beatable field.
5-Western Era (4-1)-Will rely on the Erv Miller pupil coming back fresh after a few weeks off. Qualfier on 6-29 at HoP was fine and should be in the hunt if fires hot in the first start of the meet.

Race 12 (10:06 PM EST)

3-Captain Sleeze (2-1)-Drops to a spot to shine and will be making the 3rd start of the meet. Oosting leans towards the Nelson Willis entry and it's best to respect the connections.

Race 13 (10:27 PM EST)

4-Goldie's Legacy (3-1)-Lost all chance at the start last time with an equipment break. Now drops to a more comfortable level for success. Has won 15 of 57 at HoP and should be a main player if dialed on high and gets a clean trip.
8-Ultra Image (5/2)-Comes out of an odd race with a cavalry charge to the wire and finished 8th but lost by only 1.5 lengths. Left from the 9-hole and was 13 lengths back at the first call. Looked like he was locked on the left line a bit in last, will use thinking the Taylor George 4-year-old will be engaged when the wings fold.

Race 14 (10:48 PM EST)

6-General Idea (5/2)-Comes off a nice win on 7-28 versus similar from this same post. Has won 2 of 4 here since shipping in from Ohio and is a logical play.
7-Dealer's Table (10-1)-Came first over into a quick last half and faded down the lane. Drops and should fit better with this crew and is worth a swing at the morning line price.

0.50 Late Pick 4

2,4,5/3/4,8/6,7
Total Bet=$6
