One important angle you have to keep in mind is the "business" angle of a drop. To play this, you have to have a grasp of the condition book and a reasonable knowledge of the owners and trainers.

As a claiming owner, I played games with the placement of my horses to try to eke out a profit or to make horses eligible for certain races, i.e., starter allowance, starter handicaps, etc.

Other times I dropped a horse knowing it was going off form and I had a chance to lose the horse if I didn't drop it too far and scare the hell out of everyone.
