Cant R2-5
Cant R6-2
Ascot R7-5

Is that right???

I class Ipswich as a provincial track.

I don't bet in Fillies only races so won't be on Cant R2-5. Ascot R7-5 and Cant R6-2 are qualifiers.

It's scratched anyway.

Do you have any minimum or maximum number of starters?

I don't actually use this system as I don't have the patience for a 20% SR. If I was I would use a field size of 5 to 16. Field sizes outside of this range have made a loss but there have only been < 10 races in total so probably too small a sample.

I am not a big fan of JT. JA is the best influence of JA, JT and TA.
TIM is as right as it is wrong.

Here are five neural settings to mess about with:

CP2, JA1, TA1, CRS2, DIS1, $2

CP3, CF1, JA3, TA1, DIS1

JA2, CRS2, $2

CP1, CF1, JA1, BP1, DIS1, $1

JA2, JT1, $1

The first mentioned setting is by far the most consistent I have ever come across. Plenty of winners in the top two or three, particularly in the bush.

The two settings which begin with JA, come up with some great winners from time to time.

However you use the neurals, there is still work to be done beyond coming up with a selection order.

For instance, take the top two from either setting (1) or (2). Of the top two selections, by taking the top mentioned runner from either of the JA settings,will improve the win strike rate.
