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

Race 11 (7:30 PM EDT)

3-Alta Revelry N (5-1)-Finished a good 3rd facing the one below and comes right back with the same post at the same class. Looking for a hot pace and Trevor Smith can keep the veteran close to the leaders. Should be a square price and make the most of an efficient trip.
5-Little Rocket Man (2-1)-Starts inside of the main foe and has a short field to beat. David Miller will have the classy veteran cranked up when the wings fold. If dialed on high, can get the top and not look back.

Race 12 (7:51 PM EDT)

4-Seafire (2-1)-Went the back-half in 53.4 against better and that was only good enough to cash a 4th place. Drops, Miler does the steering with a nice post draw and should relish the company.
7-Moons Up (7/2)-Finished 2nd last time, won 2 back and has done well against this kind at MVR. Should be in the mix at the wire and has good tactical speed so the post draw shouldn't hinder chances.

Race 13 (8:12 PM EDT)

3-Rockin Airway (7-1)-Comes off some dull efforts and was hindered with outside post draws but now take a good drop in class. Does well racing near the top of the stack. Has won and then finished 2nd in the last 2 races versus this kind.
5-Book The Fight (3-1)-Came off the bench and raced without hopples for the 1st time and was hung the mile. The Hoosier shipper finished a respectable 3rd in the 1st race since 10-10 and will look for a more friendly trip this time.
10-The Bird Dance N (7/2)-Had the 8-hole last week after dropping to face this kind. Got on the point off the gate, then ended up with a 2 hole trip and faded down the lane. Starts from the 2nd tier but doesn't need to lead every step of the way to win.

Race 14 (8:33 PM EDT)

2-Boomerang (7/2)-Beaten chalk did race well in the 2nd start off the bench. Rallied with a .54 back half but didn't leave into a slower opening quarter. Chris Page should be more aggressive when the wings fold and could get a cozy trip.
5-Woodrow Blue Chip (4-1)-Couldn't gain any ground down the lane versus this kind in last. Did miss a start and now comes back in sequence. Could beat this crew if Trace Tetrick finds a live cover flow.
