Mate looking at the two horses that brought you undone yesterday, Executive Action, Ascot R8, was only having its 2nd start! Sacred Snaadee had dropped in class and they put a top hoop on board. It was a trainer's setup from the start! Had a kid on board in an Open last start, brought it back this time in a 0-71 Hcap and put a jockey on board with a near 48% strike rate for a place. This is what we're up against! I think your selection method is reasonable but once you get your shortlist have a look for anything sneaky.
