What i normally do when preparing a wager is try to decide how many layers
with how many horses. 7 horses total is the norm. After eliminating down to 5
i figure which one will run no worse than 2nd, i add on according to running
style and the median energy #'s.
If it is determined the race will run Early, i use OTE's in the 3rd and 4th slot
If it is determined the race will run OTE, i use the best Earlys in the 3rd and 4th
slot. This is easier to do in the better races, and more complicated in the
cheaper races.
