Nice job!

Personally, I agree with all your line selections EXCEPT for the 7 horse.
Personally, I would have eliminated the horse for not having a line in the last 90 days at a similar distance AND surface.

You eliminated the 7 horse because its’ median energy “didn’t fit” your model and also because its’ E/L was “way too late”. The reason for that median energy and E/L comes from your use of a turf race. I think if you had to use the 7 horse, using line 6 would give you a different median energy and E/L number. Not that you would play the 7 horse, but it would give you a better perspective on the horse given that today’s race is on the dirt.
