Hoosier Park ends the week with a 13-race card. The 0.50 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 10. The sequence has a low 12% takeout, and it will be my focus. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 10 (9:56 PM EDT)

4-Rollin Rosie (2-1)-Qualified on 4-12 in 152.3 with a 26.2 last panel. Did it all on the engine and was caught by Buzzsaw Russ, and there is no embarrassment in that. Looks ready to roll at first asking versus this group.

Race 11 (10:20 PM EDT)

5-Stacking Green (5-1)-Greenshoe 3-year-old battled some tough sophomores in Kentucky last summer. Qualified back on Lasix and it was a decent effort. Could handle this group at a fair price if tight enough.
7-King Fury (7/2)-This will be 1st time Lasix for the Maria Howard trainee, and that is not my favorite angle. But won the last start easily and now bumps up to straight NW2. This isn't a salty group, there are question marks including with this 4-year-old, but will use at what could be a square price.

Race 12 (10:44 PM EDT)

3-Grace Rocks (3/2)-This will be the 1st race since 12-27 and put in a couple of quick qualifiers. Could be ready to roll at 1st asking and the Britney Dillon barn wins at a 20% clip off a layoff. Has won 17 of 57 at HoP and Kyle Wilfong should provide a smooth trip.
5-Flamboyance (3-1)-Went from the East Coast to MVR to the Tyler George barn and this will be the 2nd time for Lasix. The mare set a 152.3 mile at M1 last year and should be in the mix in its HoP debut.

Race 13 (11:08 PM EDT)

6-Devious Mojito AS (9/2)-Rolled home with a 56.2 back half starting from the same post last week. Has a 2nd and 3rd place finish in 2 HoP races. Beaten chalk doesn't have the last winner to worry about and could make amends tonight.
7-Kid Tyler (8-1)-Tom Tetrick homebred has won 2 of 3 and will need its best race to win at this level. This is another who can pop at a price with the right trip.
9-Brookview Bolt (8-1)-Sticking with the price shot plan this is another that needs the right set up and steps up off a pair of runner up finishes. Usually that angle doesn't garner my attention but did come a close 3rd when facing better than this, and it is a scattered bunch.
10-Flirtnwiththepilot (7-1)-Came with a good effort in the 1st start off the bench and took a picture. The 4-year-old steps up and the team Wrenn pupil has won 5 of 21 at HoP. Only had 1 win last year but faced stakes company and banked over $118k. The post draw makes the price and might have been the morning line chalk if drew inside.
