This has worked well for me over the years:
Eliminate the horses that are obviously out of form. If there is any doubt leave a horse in.
Pick a paceline for all the remaining horses.
Let the program separate the contenders. In "Energy" this means eliminate any horses without a 1 or 2 in their readouts. I don't know about the other programs but there must be similar readouts that can narrow the field.
The key that makes this approach work is when picking pacelines there are 2 or 3 or more horses that you are unsure of, pass the race. This might be first time on the turf, first time on the grass, lots of back class but poor recent form, a horse that won its last race and then is layed off (especially cheap claimers). Anything that presents a question about a horses chances and there is no satisfactory answer. After doing this for a while you get a fairly good idea about what races may be unplayable, or races where you might demand higher than normal odds on your picks.
