Dale - I do like your response.

Can you clarify some things for me? What do you consider a race with exposed form for example (a) of a certain race type eg group 1s , welters or (b) for example any race with all horses having 3 or more starts?

In your example I understand 5543 race form as race fit. Can't quite see x1 as ok and x2 and x3 as fitness doubts - Can you elaborate? I also have the second up phobia, so prob wouldn't go down this track. Rather 3rd , 4th or 5th run from a spell - anyway that is just another slant. Best of luck Dale.

Partypooper, although not much of a punter, I don't like any races over 1600. Distance races can be of questionable quality and pace eg Frid night MValley 2400m come to mind. I have no data to back this up, but feel races < or = 1600 are truer run races and prob more likely to suit a PPF. Sorry for the rant
