Here's a quick little idea for a super-cautious place system
RULE 1. Races of 9 starters or more at Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane meetings on Saturdays
RULE 2. To be a selection the horse must have a 90 percent or more placegetting record from at least 9 life starts, and its latest start must have been within the last 18 days
RULE 3. Be patient, really patient

1/6/02 No selections
8/6/02 No selections
15/6/02 1 selection. SR4/6 Irish Letter 3rd $1.80
22/6/02 No selections
29/6/02 No selections
6/7/02 3 selections
SR4/2 Marvilha 3rd $1.50
SR6/7 Paestum 2nd $4.20
SR7/7 Bulletproof Billy Won $5.90 & $2.40

You'd be hanging out for a selection but at least its super cautious. Possibly just a rough idea to bend and twist and play around with. I've cheated by testing it backwards, and it only makes sense testing these things on FUTURE events

Keep up all the interesting posts Hermes. Top stuff and always worth a read.
