As Bill said, TRUE contenders come first. The horses that CAN win. You’re not necessarily handicapping the most likely winners, but the most likely losers before moving on to who is left (the likely winners) if that makes sense?
Once you have your “winning” horses, see where they rate in relation to odds. This is where a line score like BL/BL, the new RX or a traditional line score of factors is important.
Read FTL, but read other people’s posts too. The “LASST” technique (which FTL more or less uses in his guidelines plus the ML and layoff requirements) will often leave you with the last line and more obvious runners - some of which are overlooked prices due to other factors, while a BLT/C or Pizzolla “Two Excuse Form cycle window” strategy will open up a horse’s history, and increase your chance of finding horses with hidden merit.
Lastly, be consistent.
