In 38yrs of punting I've never heard of an 'Off-midfield runner' [?] Is that a horse that runs off the track at the turn from a mid-field position? :-))

The runners I supplied here were not from studied form, just as listed according to my criteria. I check horse history regularly and personally find PastthePost fairly accurate in the nominated running category they list the horses [I ignore maidens and 2yr. old races]. Their time-form analysis which I use as part of final bet selection, is better than anywhere on the net in my opinion and their ratings as an initial guide aren't too bad either. Horse running position at such low class meetings as the one you mention that are also DEAD and SLOW, are always going to be a bit iffy or 'hows your father'. Regardless of source.

Anyhow, wherever or how punters check horse's usual running position [where they mostly are on the turn] and form, the purpose of this thread is to encourage more thought about pace, not to create a tipping thread or to promote any particular form service . Checking horse history to work out a horse's most common running position, is free on certain sites, but horrendously slow of course. Where punters get their form info. paid for or free, is their call.


Cheers.
