I tracked the 1st 5 favs over the past few weeks and if you choose 1 of those favs and only bet maidens only, a good profit was returned. A staking plan could make that even better.

Mind you, I classed a "maiden" race as any race where at least 1 horse has blank recent starts or a race where a number of horse had only 1 recent start.

As a noob, this could be the wrong definition of a maiden race!
