    Top 2 way ahead so no bet for me.

    I think this is the way I would approach this ....... you try and do ratings that you're confident about then obviously you have to think that the winner will be your top rated horse ......... otherwise there's no point doing ratings

    The second step would be value .... to see if your top rated is value. If not don't back it even if you think it might win according to your ratings

    There are plenty of races every day ..... if you stuck to backing your top rated horses that were also 'value' you've got half a chance. Leave the other races alone.

    I suppose the other way would be to look at your tip 3 or 4 rated and see if any are massive prices for EW betting

    I'm a bit wary of concluding that my 8th top rated, a 100/1 shot,  is 'value' because I make it a 66/1 shot. There are still 7 horses that you think are more likely to win!

    So I think you should be concentrating on your top rated for win purposes 'if' they are also value.

    What is the logic for this Richard.

    I am currently working on an AW system and one of the factors is the opposite of this, low drawn horses have a poor profit record, for those drawn 1-5 the AE is 0.93, for those drawn higher than 5 the AE is 1.08.

    I wonder if that's just herd instinct at work ........ the AW tracks apart from Newcastle are tight with turns. I guess it could be the case that logic says you need to be drawn on the inside to get the advantage of the bends ....... so the horses drawn low get over-bet and the horses drawn high are relatively ignored

    I know I'm guilty of this ...... any AW race I look at I tend to favour the low drawn horses ...... maybe everyone else does too !
