Stebbo,
I think I have a couple of ideas for you.

In those original rules of mine, I was looking for value by including horses which finished 1st to 4th at their last 4 starts. However, that doesn't seem to have worked, so I'd suggest it would be better in future to only use horses which were PLACED at their last 4 starts. I also suggest you think about a minimum win strike rate of 20%. Using those two rules, and a distance range of 1100-2400m, I think you should improve your strike rate and profit a fair bit.

Here's the results from Oct 18. (That's when you started the 'PPF' system, isn't it?)
Oct18 B7-7 Roar Talent UNP

Jan19 S7-9 Sunday Service UNP
Jan24 B7-13 Origin Hero UNP
Selections 15, Wins 5, Win return $31.50, Win profit 110%

There you go. What do you think?

I'm also working on another similar system which looks VERY promising. I'll post that in the next day or two.
