Yeah.
As for how to use them, well, it's up to you. I don't really like telling people how to bet. Watch them for a few days and see what works best.
One thing I would suggest is that over time, it probably works out better backing the top rater for a win rather than for a place. And also, I think it probably works out better to back both of the top 2 raters for a win rather than just back the top rater each way. But as I said, it's up to you. Have a look at them for a while. And have a look at the multis. With flexi-betting now, it's possible to box up all the runners above the line and you can get some good wins that way. It certainly would have been profitable doing that today. I think a combination of win betting and multi betting is probably the best way to go.
By the way, as a general guide, I think the horses to concentrate on mainly are those with a rating of 15 or more. Any horse rated 15+ is considered to have a good chance of winning, horses rated 30+ a very good chance, and those rated 45+ are basically considered specials.
