Dale, I use one piece of info only. I use the best recent start rating ( tassie tote ratings) and nothing else. I find if I start to add bonus points in for jockeys distance track conditions it will increase my strike rate but lower my profit on turnover. I use this method because it throws up horses that have good recent form but maybe good odds because they have an unfavourable jockey or racing an unsuitable distance ecetera. I learnt from this forum that to make a dollar you must try to find something that others dont do. While recent form comes into most peoples calculations, almost everyone looks for a top jock and so on. I simply price all my runners on form and nothing else, my strike rate may be less than some but my average price per winner makes up for it.
