The thing is CP for Moonee Valley in particular Jockeys, Trainers and even majority of punters are aware of the leader bias at MV. Does this mean the value is potentially eroded on front settling type horses. Or even that the pace in some races is so extreme because everyone knows of the bias that it actually ends up favouring mid to back runners?

I know the stats still support a POT for front runners at MV at most distances, but I still think the questions above are relevant.

I think finding leader/front bias at tracks which are less obviously or well known to be suited to leaders is a good approach. For instance i've found Belmont to be pretty supportive of leader types whereas the long straight would in general be deemed as a negative to leader types.
