I like to only have one bet in any race ..... sometimes I might choose a couple of the best races on a Saturday to have a bet on. It might be one at Eagle Farm and one at Rosehill for example. there may be say 8 or 9 qualifiers on a Saturday and I will have maybe two bets. I filter for races, if more than one qualifier then I'll filter for where the horse comes from (eg; if it's an interstate visitor I'll back it) or maybe the horse with the most wins in the race.

I don't have the key to the vault, but what I do have is a simple base which selects a good horse and a good combination. I've found that some of these horses, esp from interstate, aren't given much credence for their good Win% S/R because they've run in inferior company. Also, putting faith in a winning combination makes it easier to filter out the NOISE.

Please go and support a family who is going through cancer. Believe me, they're doing it tough no matter how good a front they're putting on. Take the carer out fishing or for lunch. Put yourself out there, no matter how hard it is emotionally for you.
