Hoosier Park has a 12-race card. The 0.50 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 9, and it will be my focus. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 9 (8:08 PM EST)

1-Toy's For You (5-1)-Has trouble finishing miles but is in a good spot to get an efficient trip. Fits and the Plano trainee could get a suck-around trip and post the 1st win of the meet.
2-Niko Man (4-1)-Will need its best at this class but Niko likes to win. Has taken pictures in 8 of 18 starts and has captured 4 of 11 races here. John De Long will have the Rucker trainee racing near the top of the stack.
8-Swingforthefences (6-1)-Has drawn post 8 in 2 of the last 3 races and both times was used early to get a good seat. Beat the class below 3 races back. Comes back in sequence tonight and will look for a strong bounce back effort at a price.

Race 10 (8:30 PM EST)

4-Elegant A (7/2)-Has found the going tough since arriving from MVR 3 races back. Gets both post and class relief here. May have meet a beatable field.
6-JK'S Shining Star (8-1)-Went the back-half in 55.1 last time but was too far back. Marvin Luna has had success with the mare when getting a good early seat. Will look for an aggressive drive and the price is right to take a swing.
9-Some Big Dream (4-1)-Looked good winning in the 2nd start of the season. Regular driver Joey Putnam returns but could be overlooked with this post draw. Does well at HoP (8-6-0-1) and this mare lands in a field with mostly 4-year-olds like her.

Race 11 (8:52 PM EST)

4-Brookview Bolt (6-1)-The price is right, but not sure what to expect. Can dance with this kind winning on 4-6, but then broke stride the next week from the 8-hole. Put in a flat line on 4-20 and should be in the hunt at a price if dialed on high.
7-Dover In Motion (6/5)-Macomber trainee wins on smaller ovals as well as here. Has taken pictures in 19 of 38 lifetime and had an 8-race winning streak before being out away. Qualified nicely on 4-27 and this race will probably need to go through the classy 5-year-old.

Race 12 (9:14 PM EST)

4-Feetmadefordancin(6-1)-Joel Smith 4-year-old is 0-6 on the year and its form has been dull. Should fit and gets a new set of hands in Mike Oosting. Will look to an old Illinois connection to provide a spark at a healthy price.
6-Splash Of Pink (7/2)-Mohawk shipper put in a needed start here on 4-27. This is a big track horse that has beaten better and is a main threat if brings a top try.
