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

Don't forget to register for the Hit and Split Promo at the Big M on Saturday.

Race 11 (10:09 PM EST)

5-M-M's Tony (5/2)-Recent form has been dull but this is a spot to wake-up. Drops in the 4th start off the bench and draws a choice post. Should be a player and hopefully won't be over bet.
6-VP Rockin (3-1)-Has been battling $34k claimers without any success. The last 4 starts have netted no checks and has enough money off its card to land in a winnable situation.

Race 12 (10:32 PM EST)

1-Goodness Graycious (4-1)-Cashed checks against ISS company but couldn't seal the deal in the last 2 starts. Has only 1 win in 12 races at HoP but this isn't a deep group and drawing the rail shouldn't hurt its chances.
4-Rolling Image (8/5)-Program chalk has hit the board in the last 4 races against ISS 3-year-olds. Drops into a more comfortable spot. Does good work at Hoosier (10-3-3-3) and the Tyler George pupil looks like a main player.

Race 13 (10:55 PM EST)

2-Gullfaxi (5-1)-Sat the pocket into a slow pace in last and finished a close 2nd. Should be in striking range turning for the wire and my guess is they don't walk to the half in 57.1 tonight.
3-Play Me Rock (5/2)-Started in the 2nd tier, made the most of a fast pace and came off cover to win. This will be the 4th race since shipping in from MVR and could benefit from a confidence boosting victory last week.

Race 14 (11:18 PM EST)

5-Rip Wheeler (3-1)-Comes off a gate to wire score, now steps up but can dance with this kind. Branden Bates should be racing with the leaders if not on the point off the gate. Should get a clean trip and is a double up possibility.
6-Cool Moment (7/2)-Ships in from Oak Grove after some dull races and had breaking issues. Had been facing stakes company and now lands in a nice spot to take a picture. Team Putman entry has done well at Hoosier (7-3-2-0) and if minds its manners could post the 1st win this year.
