Hi evajb001,

One way I evaluate class is by looking at horses who can sit on the speed, then sprint of a reasonable pace, or make multiple runs in a race.

An example from the weekend was Perfectly Stunning, who was baulked for a short period up the straight, then exploded once clear running the fastest last 200m.

In midweek handicap races, I look for the best weighted or most progressive horse in the race.

Not sure how it'll help your ratings but these are simply a few of my thoughts on the topic.
