The big droppers, especially ones bought for big money and then showing up in claiming races I avoid period. Sometimes they beat me but usually they fulfill their underperforming stature.
As for horses that have run and dropping you really need to look at the owners and trainers as some have said. I especially like when there's a positive trainer change on someone who had form and lost it. You also have to look at injuries where a horse has been really good, had time off, and switched to a better trainer. Those I pounce on (not that I always win) because I feel a trainer can get the horse back.
