I've done that many times lately myself. The reason I mentioned gut feeling was more as a handbrake against making a system so all encompassing that it becomes just too complex. I guess I shouldn't have really mentioned it because gut feeling really has no part in a computerised system for obvious reasons.
What I am trying to do is get some discussion going about what individual factors people think are important in a system, things like the obvious weight, latest form and so on, and things perhaps not so obvious like the ratio of winners to losers at certain odds to tote turnover etc.
