Horse/Track: Must have proven ability on either today's track or one with similar characteristics.
Horse/Recent: Analysis of general form over the last few weeks.
Horse/Dist: Must have shown the ability or obvious potential to run competitively over today's distance.
Horse/Draw: Highlight any obvious disadvantage if applicable.
Horse/Going: Must have shown an obvious ability to handle today's ground.
Trainer/Track: Trainer must have at least a 10% strike rate on today's track.
Trainer/Recent: Trainer must have had at least two placed or one winning horse in the last 14 days.
