I look for racing patterns. Looking at sites like Ozeform it gives you a great feel for when a horse reaches it peak after a spell.

I'm also a big fan of horse/jockey combinations, I know some people think this is overrated but I have had some great results looking at Win/Place %s with certain horses and jockeys.

Never ever change your tips when you go to the track, unless there is a major reason to do so. And never let the price of a horse change your thinking, if you think it is a good chance and it's at long odds, then all the better for you.

And last but not least, class is the key. Research into what you consider are false pre-race favourites by looking at the class of the horses and you'll find good value.

Good Punting,
