Hoosier Park has a 14-race card to start the weekend. The Spot Plays are in Race 5, Race 8, and Race 10. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 5 (7:02 PM EDT)

8-Shamwow (9/2)-The 10-year-old put in a new lifetime mark of a 149.0 with a 27.1 last quarter. Normally, this might be a spot to fade on a double bump up, but the last mile deserves respect (26.2-54.1-121.4-149.0). Got on the engine and didn't look back as Trace Tetrick pulled the plugs at the 5/8's pole, and made the 7/5 choice, who got a pocket ride look like it was towing a boat down the lane. Hopefully the morning line price holds up, and this is an unproven level for basically the entire field.

Race 8 (8:11 Pm EDT)

2-Sanday A (5-1)-Posted a recent win at this level and has cashed smaller checks as well. Should appreciate the post relief and will look for Marcus Miller to work an efficient trip. The veteran could be sitting on a big try. Has hit the board in 28 of 49 at HoP and has taken 11 pictures.

Wil use #2 Sanday A in a Win Bet

Race 10 (8:57 PM EDT)

5-Little Rocket Man (4-1)-Won 2 straight coming off the bench then drew outside versus this kind in the last 2 starts. Starts from the choice post tonight and could get the jump on tough foes leaving from the outside. The Rucker trainee can down this crew if dialed on high.
