Hoosier Park has a 13-race card and the 0.50 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 10. The sequence has a $10,000 guaranteed pool, and will it be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 10 (9:46 PM EST)

7-Seeitsayit (5-1)-Team Putman pupil tuned up with 2 qualifiers and raced from the back in both. Did go the 2nd half in 56.4 with a 26.1 last panel. Will take a swing the wrapper comes off tonight and won't be over bet.
8-Rollin Dice (10-1)-There is no form to chew on but does appear to have the speed to beat this bunch. Gets a positive driver change in Brandon Bates and will look for an aggressive steer.
10-TL Thunder Bolt (2-1)-Morning line chalk might be the one to beat and is risky to leave off the ticket. But a 2-year-old starting from the 2nd tier could also be a risky proposition. Will rely on the connections as the Tetrick-Miller combo posts 21% winners.

Race 11 (10:09 PM EST)

3-Dry Creek Princess (5/2)-Comes off a handy win and can offer a fair price tonight. Should race near the top of the stack again and looks like a double up possibility with an efficient trip.
6-Graceful Gala (2-1)-Gets some class relief and rolled the 2nd half in 55.1 off an inside trip. Mike Oosting should have forwardly placed off the gate. May have met a beatable field and will probably be a small price.

Race 12 (10:32 PM EST)

3-Flirtnwiththepilot (5/2)-Team Wrenn pupil might make the most of a cozy trip and finish the best of all. Could land in the pocket or on the point and either could work for a picture.
5-Winslow (7/2)-Went the back-half in 55.4 and finished with a 26.3 last panel to just get up in time. Should be flying down the lane again and this time the fractions could be lively.

Race 13 (10:55 PM EST)

1-M-M's Tony (3-1)-Beaten chalk comes off an improved effort and now drops. Doesn't have much gate speed and looks like a main player, if leaving from the rail doesn't hurt chances.
4-True Blue Lindy (4-1)-The 5-year-old was claimed by the Ode barn on 7-5, then drew the 10-hole and took the long way around. Looking for better in the 2nd start for the new connections and Kyle Wilfong sticks.

0.50 Late Pick 4
