I'd like to thank the following:
Chrome Prince, OZDOC, topsy99 and puntz for being so prompt with their responses to my problem.
Chrome prince: Thank you for that link. I will be visiting it as soon as I complete this session.

OZDOC- Peter, thank you, I will e-mail you shortly.

Puntz, and topsy99 - Yes puntz, you hit the nail on the head. whatever is your preference, go for it. If I feel satisfied doing all this form analysis, just to achieve , (in my opion) a value bet then the hard work is justified.

topys99, I agree, with you, if you follow so called form to the letter, you will end up in the mad house with no hair left!!
I use the information mentioned in my previous posting to find, in my opinion, potentially the best horse in the race. I ignore beaten margins and the so called class of races. I feel these two variables totally confuse the thought processes of finding the best horse in the race (and hopefully the winner!!).
I look for the best horse in the race (according to my rating method) then sort and price them and, on race day I use Dutch betting to glean some value out of the top two or three of my selections. I have reasonable success doing this. (not being a large punter)
Once again thanks to all of you, I will persue my goal and keep you guys posted. If (sorry when) I refine the process albiet via our conversations or utilising VBA, I will achieve my goal and let you guys know about it.
