I might consider such types when dealing with the cream of the crop, emphasis on might.

I tend to look most seriously at those who rank well on EP and TT. I prefer to not have my horse be sitting behind a wall of others in the stretch.

Generalizations of course, but my prime reason to look for deep closers is to bet against them.

The grass is another matter, but for dirt races I like the kind of horse that Lauren Bacall described in THE BIG SLEEP.
