The top 5 of most ratings/bookies opening quotes are going to provide you with probably around 80% of winners. Great place to start if you like doing the form. Another option which I have been trialling with success is take the top4-5 and run lay systems over them to try eliminate as many as you can. By removing the poor value horses, you can start swinging the book into your favour, if you can eliminate 1-2 horses, depending on what they are paying, you are in a way reducing the market to under 100% which is a great thing!

I honestly reccomend to everyone who prefers to back horses to spend a few months laying them, you quickly start to realise what type horses are overbet and represent poor value. I was amazed at what I quickly discovered thats for sure.
