Can't be the dominant favorite.The last race at Anita often has a m32 claiming race,and they really are not that difficult,but there are usually 3 - 5 horses that have a shot.There are usually another 7 or 8 horses from trainers that don't win.To answer your question,it has to be a horse that has atleast 1 horse being played equally against it.It can be one of the 2 top choices,but not anything less than 8/5 or 9/5.That week,I think I had a 6/1,a 4/1,two 5/2 shots, a 2/1 etc. Any of that will work. Out here,we have cheaters,and they are gunna shove horses down your throat.You can hope for like 4/1 etc.,but they will get bet down(and win) at 5/2 etc.So,it's really meant as a way to make money off a 5/2 that wins the last race.Everybody needs a bigger price.So,they try to beat Mitchell,Sadler,Mullins etc.,but if they are dropping into a m32cl,then it's usually gunna win.If there is a horse that came close to winning for mcl32,then people will always play that almost as much(or more) as the dropper.Then,the dropper wins.Coming close in m32cl is no match for Sadler dropping something who has had one dull start at straight maiden level.The key is to have a horse or two who have come close to winning at m32cl.They will bet those again.
