Here's my contribution today. It follows from some of Baghwans older posts where he points out that #2s are in the money almost as often as #1 but pay better. This strategy romped through my sampling with a 7% profit on turnover unfiltered on places. (Wins were break even).

It is very simple. The target group is all #2 runners rated 4 or more points higher than #1 on the TABQ (AAP) ratings. Back to place. Pass races where #1 is scratched.

To filter the qualifier must meet any three of the following (usual) conditions that point to some talent:

*D or C form
*Inside or outside barrier
*Only 100 rater runner in race
*Third race from a spell
*Last start winner
*Two places over last three starts
*Also rated higher than #3
*Among the RadioTab top 2 selections
*Improving positions over last three races

A good strike rate. Check the results yesterday. Five bets. Five placegetters.

Mr Timbula 2.40/1.40
Shangos Image 1.20
Traditional Vain 1.50
Tenesse Tom 1.60
Dangerous Illusion 1.30

Even unfiltered it is a safe and simple placegetting strategy.
