Dear Reenster, I like you`re idea of only looking at the races with 9 & more starters .It does make a difference .If one had bet on your Dec.Sat.22nd. Moonee Valley top 2 you mentioned & betting on the shotest priced of the 2 after cancelling the favorite.On races 9+ starters.There would have been 5 Selections,2 winners $2.90+$3.70= $6.60 Ret. Less$5.00 O/L=$1.60 Profit or32% Prof.on turnover. I strongly feel there is a lot of potential here, especially if you can weed out the poor value qualifiers.
