The simplest, earliest, most basic handicapping revolves around past performance comprehension of current form, condition and race shape.
Without worrying about a single "angle", getting a grasp on how each entrant 'fits' within the conditions of 'today's race' will generally allow you to seperate the field into contenders, non-contenders and longshots. From there, a pace scenario generation should further help you identify a wagering approach to the contenders based on price and and personal bankroll application approach.
Later on you can begin to finalize or enhance your selections based on some of the esoteric 'angles' you've come to notice, but you can be successful without any overly ornate set of angles.
