Partypooper,
Mark is your man for this answer.
From my point of view though, your initial edge has to outweigh a number of factors.
Late scratchings
A plunge on an outsider or mid priced horse
Late money for one early favoured horse.
I know Mark does it successfully on 2.5%, but I cannot get it into overall positive territory without building much bigger edges to compensate for other factors.
For what it's worth, have you looked at taking Top Fluc on horses that open odds on and laying on Betfair just before the off, or with a built in price in mind?
I find this has far less risk than trying to make a book, but it's horses for courses, and what suits me best.
If the odds on favourite should drift, I try and lay it before it drifts too far, so I still have the buffer of Top Fluc in my favour.
