Testarossa,
one other point about class....
most of the horses seem to have a problem when they go quickly up the ladder and get to about C3 or C4.
There is a horse called Willing Chip who a couple of months ago qualified for my system every week. Always ran a place and for some reason the punters always ignored it - I remember one day it ran third and paid $7.50 for the place even though its record for the past 5 runs had been sometehing like 22112 - punters are mad !!!
Then it won a single race too many and went up a class and ran into a brickwall and has been hopelessly at the rear in most of its races since then.

If you look at the form guides at harness .org.au you will often see a horses form over the past two years starting with a string of wins before it suddenly goes 8-6-9-0-8- etc
and it might be a year before it runs a place again.
Of course, any horse that doesnt succumb to this is obviously VERY good and should be in your liitle book.

Being a family man I dont get a chance to watch too many of my races on Foxtel, but I nearly always listen to them on the radio and I think its important to keep track of your selections in this way.You get a better sense of it.

hope that helps...

see ya
