Tonight, Hoosier Park has a 12-race card with a first post at 7:00 PM EST. The 0.50 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 9, and the sequence will be my focus. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 9 (9:56 PM EST)

1-Beauty N Grace (4-1)-Beaten odds-on choice couldn't catch a well-meant winner but did come 1st over. Raced well and could cash the top check with a smooth trip.
4-It's Corona Time (9/2)-Landed in a nice spot at Indy after being off more than 2 weeks and didn't disapoint. Can compete with this kind and should offer a square price.
5-Walkin On Sunshine (7/2)-Likes to cash checks, is in form, and shouldn't blush at anyone in this field. Has the gate speed to land on the point or race near the top of the stack. Either trip could work for a picture.

Race 10 (10:18 PM EST)

2-Southwind Cherry (10-1)-Faces older, made a rare break in the last start, and should be a large price in what looks like a hodge podge classification. Makes the 2nd start on Lasix and will toss the last at Indy. Wilfong should work a good trip and did finish a close 3rd versus similar 2 back.
3-Bridge To Jesse's (5/2)-Drops to a spot to shine and gets a positive driver change as usual pilot John De Long gets the call. Could get a cozy close-up seat and then roll by down the lane at a short price.

Race 11 10:40 PM EST

2-Elegant A (5/2)-Drops to the level of the last win on 7-29 and this post draw shouldn't hurt chances. Likes to rally off cover and the pace should be lively.
5-Sweet Charlie (9/2)-Has been in good form coming within a 1/2 length of winning 3 in a row and the 2 losses were versus this kind. May offer some value and Wilfong should work a good steer from this post.
7-Maggie Rhee (8-1)-Faced 3 from this field in last, did get the top but the pace was quick and faded down the lane. Has good gate speed and can get a close-up seat. Doesn't need to wire the field to win. Will look for a better finish and the price should be right to use.

Race 12 11:02 PM EST

5-Wixx Hanover (6-1)-Came a close 2nd versus this kind and was used a couple of times. Should get a close-up seat and could be in the hunt at a square price in a race without a standout.
7-Fox Valley Cairo (15-1)-Price shot makes the 4th start of the meet, the 2nd on Lasix and fits with this kind. Could surprise with a sharp steer by Bender.
10-Renegade Gypsy (6-1)-Thestable.com entry had breaking issues at Wbsb but since has landed in Ron Burke's barn here and was qualified by Jason McGinnis at Nfld on 8-2. Put in an even effort in the 1st start at HoP on 8-12. Beaten favorite comes back in sequence, the price will be better, Tetrick steers and is a threat if minds manners.
