Miami Valley has 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.

Race 11 (7:30 PM EDT)

1-Mega Money (7-1)-This is the 4th start in the Todd Luther barn and has a win plus 3rd and 4th place finishes versus this company. The last 2 starts came from post 8 and 10. Will take a swing with the 1-hole will look for this mare to post a win against this kind at a nice price.
6-Vekna (9/2)-Steps up but so do 3 others. Went off at 1-9 last time, drew off by 5 lengths and could be a square price. Did hit the board in the last 4 races and has enough early speed to get a close-up seat.
7-Global Sensation (4-1)-Has been facing tougher and is still looking for its 1st picture this year. Has finished 2nd in the past 4 races including last week. Stayed inside after leaving from post 5, and tonight David Miller should have the pedal down. Can get a top of the stack trip versus this kind.

Race 12 (7:51 PM EDT)

4-Art Of Racing (5/2)-Miller posts 24% winners when driving for the Perrin barn and this mare comes off her best finish in a while. Was used early and was able to pass horses down the lane to finish 3rd. Will string along and look for the upswing to continue.
5-Goldies Adelight A (2-1)-Took advantage off quick fractions and a sharp steer to drop and pop against this kind. Could double up but won't be close to 4-1.

Race 13 (8:12 PM EDT)

1-Herecomescharlie B (5/2)-Dropped 2 back, after taking a month off and came 3rd. Returned 6 days later, dropped again and this time took a picture. Takes a good step up but is still facing softer than before the time off. Using here after a confidence booster and thinking the program odds could be low.
7-Southwind Mai Tai (7/2)-In the last 3 starts has had posts 7-8 and 10. Now drops to the level of its last win. Needs a trip and should be a player with Dave Miller at the controls.

Race 14 (8:33 PM EDT)

4-Delco Kathleen (5/2)-Interesting taffy pull with not much form to chew on. This mare finished 2nd in last, now steps up and has taken 3 pictures in 12 races at MVR. Gets a decent post draw, Chris Page sticks, and that's enough to make it the program chalk. Its recent resume is better than most and with a smooth steer could be posing.
5-Arrival (6-1)-This veteran hasn't had much love from the post draw gods and now lands in a choice slot. Is 0-11, looking for a price and for Marvin Luna not being too far back when the wings fold. If she gets away with a decent seat, and the fractions are honest this mare can close well.
