I recall quite some time ago back when I used to buy Prac Punting magazine they had an article on exactly what I am about here but for the life of me I can't find it anywhere.
I gave up buying PP years ago when I woke up to myself.
They had a name for those factors too but my old brain hasn't retained
it.

The complete answer to your question is that they are all interrelated, ie. you can have a 100% win and place S/R for a nag that never raced outside of a bush picnic meeting, and as soon as it is racing in a classier company it fails.
To give you a simple answer, that actually works in a way, do your selections according to each criteria separately and see how they perform.
let's say win rating is twice as good as any other, then its multiplier is obvious.
Try it.
Good luck
