This is the night for Hoosier Park's signature race the Dan Patch Stakes which has a $310,000 purse. The 0.50 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 12. The sequence has a $30,000 guaranteed pool, and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 12 (10:06 PM EST)

4-BB Lucky Boy (8-1)-Was driven hard into a 53.3 opening half and tonight David Miller takes the lines. Has one good move and if used at the right time it could lead to a picture at a solid price.
5-Ultra Image (5/2)-Beat this kind in last utilizing a 53.1 second half to roll by down the lane. Gets post relief and might double up at a short price.
6-Western Era (7/2)-Took advantage of a very hot pace and came the back half in 53.4 to beat a few of these last week. Could get a better seat off the gate in the 2nd start in town and is another who might win right back.

Race 13-Dan Patch Stakes (10:40 PM EST)

6-Linedrive Hanover (9/2)-The question is will this speedy son of Betting Line race well on the Hoosier Park surface. If so, he should be a main player. There are some tough foes but there isn't a Bull Dog Hanover to battle. If the Tony Beaton entry brings his A-game, he should be on the lead around the first turn and could be difficult to collar.
8-Little Rocket Man (7/2)-Local hero likes to sweep by down the lane and John DeLong should be sitting near the top of the stack. Will probably need his best race of the year to win but the pace could be hot and that shouldn't hurt chances.
10-Charlie May (3-1)-Brett Miller does a great job of putting Charlie in striking range and the post draws are often not great. Will need to find a way to stay close enough to the leaders and with honest fractions the 5-year-old should be in the mix at the wire.

Race 14 (11:05 PM EST)

2-Six Again (8-1)-Usually isn't 10 lengths back at the first call and should get a close-up seat with a better post draw this week. Looking for De Long to provide an aggressive steer in the 2nd start on Lasix and should offer a nice price.
4-Henry The Horse (5/2)-Took control on 7-28 and didn't look back in an efficient win. Program chalk usually gives an honest effort and could reward backers again with a smooth trip.

Race 15 (11:30 PM EST)

8-KJ Owen (7/2)-This Tyler George veteran makes its 3rd start off the bench and performed well in his previous 2 races. Has put in a couple of flat lines, this might be go-time and may have met a beatable field.
10-Rock King Deo (5-1)-Got sucked around in last and beat the one above with a ground saving trip. Could follow #1 when the wings fold, get a good close-up seat and trip out for another picture.
