Miami Valley has 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.

Race 11 (7:20 PM EDT)

2-S I P (2-1)-This 7-year-old made its MVR debut last week and tried to wire the field from the 7-hole and fell a length short. Moves inside, comes right back, and can be even better with a start on the oval. Does bump up and should fit but could be over bet.
5-Caviar Gold (5/2)-Broke last week at the start and lost all chance. That race came against better and now drops to a winnable spot. Goes back to racing with hopples and this 8-time winner at MVR could add to that total.
6-Angel Nation (4-1)-The veteran had a big 2025 banking over $181,000 and put in a good try last week after missing a start. Stayed inside and was used a couple of times to finish a close 4th. Has the gate speed to land in a close-up seat and this could be go-time once the wings fold.

Race 12 (7:40 PM EDT)

2-Jewell Said (7/2)-Raced evenly last time in a needed race and now gets a ++ driver change with Chris Page steering instead of conditioner Ed Konrad. Will look for an aggressive drive and to be in the hunt at the wire.
4-Sadhaka N (4-1)-Will take a swing with this New Zealand bred making its US debut. Went a 1.54 mile in a qualifier on 12-27 and finished with a 27.2 last panel. That was the 2nd qualifier and would have liked to have seen one more recently. With 8 starters coming off a layoff the Heather France barn posts 38% winners.

Race 13 (8:00 PM EDT)

2-Mehelpingyou (7-1)-Raced better than the line looked in last, gets a new pilot in Tyler Smith, and will look for a determined effort. Could be in a spot to get a suck-around trip and might be overlooked.
3-Niko Man (5/2)-This isn't an easy race to read and recent form has been dull on the Ken Rucker trainee. But has been facing better and doesn't have an excuse for not waking up in this spot.

Race 14 (8:20 PM EDT)

3-Absolut Peach (9/2)-Doesn't win often and has excuses in the last 3 races at DTN with outside post draws. Needs a top of the stack trip, to stay near the lead. That trip is possible and my take is the morning line could be too low.
5-Seaside Flirt (2-1)-Drew the choice starting slot in a race without much depth. Isn't automatic, will most likely not offer any value but needs to be included.
