If you can get the fav rolled it always adds some tang to the equation.

An angle that may work:

Focus on those races where the fav at start time is above $10 in the Neurals.

Fav has failed repeatedly at the distance.

If it's managed a third, go the exacta. If it hasn't placed, smash the tri.

Food for thought?

On another matter,
