Hi, I come from England (oh go on I'm sure some of you have a nickname or two for us) but I have recently taken an interest in Aussie racing.

Could any of you offer some form reading tips to me, as it seems very different to the way ours is set out over here. For example, the class of race is the oposite way round, our class 1 is a better grade than a class 2, 3, 4 etc.

I have links to a few Australian racing form sites but they only seem to show the last 3 or 4 races for each horse. A system I use over here involves me grading a horses form from its last 6 runs. Are there any sites I could get a more detailed form? I don't want to place the links here as I am not sure it is allowed but I use AAP Racing & Sports, Tabform & Ozeform.

Any advice (& I seriously mean any) would be most welcome. To be perfectly honest, it's just like starting out in the betting world again, I don't profess to be an expert on UK racing, but I do know my way around the form pages.

Good luck

Chad
