I simplified my steps in Post 1
Yes the first thing I do is check the conditions of the race.
But I also look at the APV, The CR and the earnings box of each horse
Here is the morning line favorite for todays 3rd race at Parx
Rosie has 10 wins The condition for this race is CL12.5 Non winners of a race in 6 months 124 lbs
Rosie has the most wins in the field, (10) Her APV is under 1.00 but her class rating is good at 117 so she has done well against lesser horses . I also check the race rating. Todays race is a 77 I usually look for good efforts in races over 80.
The 5 horse has 4 wins, It has good APV and CR ratings
but it has placed 11 times
These are all factors I get when using RDSS
