But listening to TVG on the tube while working from home and reading things on DT there are clearly many things to take into consideration when handicapping a race.

Any insight would be helpful regarding angles and recognizing the basic angles.

The best angle in this game is to know the fan favorites. Provided you have some skill in understanding the sport, knowing the fan-favorites is the one angle that works. Never bet on them, never bet against them unless you have a solid belief they will fail.
