Release the Hounds (I hear Monty Burns every time I read that)...
I start with Cyberhorse form (about $30/month for every TAB event in the country) and import that into Price predictor. In P.P. I created a 'system' with no filters, so that it gives me every runner in every race. P.P allows you to output the result of your system test to an excel spreadsheet, and I import that into a custom Filemaker database.

This means I can query the data in any way, create filters, test ideas etc etc, and import or manually add additional info like other ratings if needed. This allows for a degree of functionality similar to some quite expensive commercial options, for a fraction of the cost. You just need to take the time to learn Filemaker, but the good part is that it's designed so you don't have to be a techno-genius to get it happening.

HTH.
Cheers,
