For the hard copy baby boomers like myself...a simple tip I discovered that made my punting life a lot easier, some years ago.

Before beginning the huge task of going through all the fields (in my case that's Sydney Melbourne Brisbane and Adelaide) which probably average around 350 horses for most Saturdays.

Spending just 20 to 30 minutes putting a line through the horses that you believe could not win or in my case, could not be in my system. That usually eliminates 60% to 75% of the fields. This narrows the main task of selecting winners much simpler.

As I said very simple and not only time saving but reduces the chances of missing a winner.
