Spend a couple of pennies to subscribe to a half decent form guide covering all races anywhere in full. Below is an example of a 'short' form I use for systems [it all bunches up when you 'copy and paste' onto here] which comes with a handy track map at the top of each race page [not shown but is in the big space to the right] and preferably a service that shows 3 TAB live prices at the click of a button. There are plenty of services available, some better than others.......
