3. I especially favor second-out sprinters that ran first out from an inside post and are moving to a better post.
4. I downgrade late runners which passed a number of horses in their first start. There's no guarantee they'll show better speed next out.
5. Keep an eye on field size. A horse that finished 4th in it's debut in a 6 horse field is far less worthy than one that finshed 4th in a 10 or 11 horse field.
6. Don't take too a short price on any maiden. If a horse is 4/5 and looks 4/5, I pass. What's the point? You can't beat these kind of races.
Standard stuff, I guess.
