Hi darkydog,

Might be worth putting something together.

Say.......

1/ 12 - 14 runners

2/ Selection is Unitab 100 rated, won at the distance, in these conditions.

3/ Ridden by top 5 trainer and jockey at the track (R & S)

4/ Price between 11/2 - 10/1. ($6.50 - $11 for the Gen Yer's, ha ha)

5/ Favourite is not in the UNITAB top 3 ratings and has failed previously (not placed) at the distance in the SAME grade or lower.

Take the top selection, FIELD, FIELD, for second and third.

You could also make the selection a roving banker for second and third if you were confident of the favourite missing a place to boost strike rate. May not necessarily boost profits long term.
