The immediate answer here surprises me. That's the first thing I look at. Betting does tell a good deal, when the barn and connections load up, still, I look at sire fts %s, and dam %s. Along with trainer's habits.
Often, several barns think theirs can take it gate to wire. That creates part of the headache in making a choice.
