Default Favs. dissected

Would anyone help out with some research I'm attempting to do long hand which is proving to be very tedious.

Basically just splitting favs into Handicaps and non Handicaps, and then disecting into catagories eg.

2YO, 3yo, Maiden Races, then into distances say 1200 and LESS, 1201-1399, 1400 to 1600, 1601 to 1999, over 2000.

Then possibly adding some other factors such as last start finishing position, days since run etc etc.

Obviously what I am attempting to establish is where to concentrate my betting especially as I bet for the place.

EG. maybe I should be looking at say,

The Fav. in Non Handicaps, 8-12 runners, (with at least 5 career starts)
Placed 1,2,or3 and within 3.5 lengths of the winner last start (within 21 days)
Races 1201-1999 metres only
Metro Races only (7 days)
50% + Place record
Rated 97+ (unitab)
Delete 3kg claimers.

NOTE EXAMPLE ONLY, I don't have enough data to qualify that yet, but if anyone is prepared to run it through their box of tricks it would be appreciated.
