There's no need to go through ALL 17 pages of the "Barrier System" thread. I'll try to outline all the rules for you here and if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

THE OUTSIDE BARRIER SPECIALS

(5) Consider only the clear pre-post favourite, providing it is between $3.00 and $4.00.
(6) Must be starting from the outside barrier.

All you need is a daily newspaper form guide. I use the Courier Mail. Ignore 2yos, jumps, races less than 1200m and races with less than 8 starters. In the remaining races, you consider only the favourite. It must be between $3.00 and $4.00 and it must be the clear favourite. No equal favs allowed. Now, it must be starting from the outside barrier after scratchings. It also must have had at least 3 starts since a spell and it must have finished in the first 4 at each of it's last 3 starts. The rules are strict and you don't get many bets, but it seems to do okay.
