Best handicapping angles

I'm curious what you all consider the most important factors when handicapping a race.

For example, I tend to lean towards class and competition as a starting point.

Highest last-race Beyer.

And a win over the track.

Third career start is also a plus.

Japan shippers.. that's my strongest angle.

Not as strong as "Desormeaux Off".

LOL!! You know, at one time, that wasn't a bad angle!

I bet on any horse that is likely to cross-fire while running in a straight line.
