Follow the money
A little system that I have followed on and off over the years. Watch for horses backed more heavily for a win than a place or vice versa. For example: 5/7; 6/3 at the TAB and back for 3 starts until they at least place. Do not back if they placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd when qualifying. Can pick up some good divvies.
For instance, yesterday at Te Rapa (NZ) there was a qualifier in race 2 called Frivolous who paid $26.30 and $6.40 on the NZ TAB. The reason I liked it was it was third up after running 4th first up and fading out at 250m mark next start right handed, the money was on at 5/7. Latest start, racing left handed and with improvement of last run won at huge odds.
Today at Westland, I liked Diamond Jules in race 4. Faded over 1200m (4.1L) after 2 previous wins. Money was on at 7/10. Field weaker this time and won $6.40 and $3.00
With some filters in place, this could be fine tuned.
Just my thoughts anyway.
