Hoosier Park: $10,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Analysis for Thursday 5/1

Race 3

(10) TOTAL LEE – Closed well for third in a series final filled with better foes than she faces on Thursday. She should come away close enough to the pace to make one brush to the front.

(1) CAS ART APPAREL – She figures to flash speed from the cones and looks like the only legitimate contender other than the top choice.

Race 4

(7) ROSE RUN OSCAR – Returned from his 4-year-old debut with a big qualifier. This gelding has some ability and none of these jumps off the page.

(1) HONEYINTHEPINE – Gets some much needed class relief. If she is going to respond with a big effort, tonight is the night.

Race 5

(3) INVINCIBLEINFLIGHT – Has responded nicely to the addition of Lasix. Three-year-old filly seems to have the most “go” in the group.

(1) ALWAYS A BLUE SKY – Drops back down into an easier spot.

(10) SAND TILLY LACE – Finished second behind a runaway winner last time from post nine. How will she react from the second tier?

(5) SKYWAY SIERRA – Showed some life in her second start of the year and could continue to improve.

Race 6

(10) LADYBONES – Exists series action and finds a decent spot. Bettor’s Delight-sired mare can wait and pounce from the second tier.

(1) DESTINY CRUISE – Has inside speed and form; obvious player.

(2) SUGARTIME EXPRESS – Was a solid second behind Destiny Cruise most recently and could easily step forward.

(4) STARRY SKYS – Hasn’t exactly gotten a good post to work with since entering the Erv Miller barn. Don’t count this gal short at a price.

(6) LCB SANDY – Just missed last time in a claiming series final; very dangerous.

$.50 Pick Four – 1,10 / 1,7 / 1,3,5,10 / 1,2,4,6,10 = $40
