Richard:
here are a few things that helped narrow the contenders.
1. If at any time a top two VDC showed up near the bottom of the array, I kept those VDC 1 and 2 horses no matter what their total energy. I eliminated others outside the top 4 VDC in these races.
2. Dirt horses in turf races with #5 DCL should be eliminated and vice versa. So when ever you have to take a line from another surface, be wary of the VDC number if the deceleration rank is 5 or lower. Some of these horses get listed in the top 3 VDC, but the decel becomes important. You can also see how far back the horse projects from the Segments screen and then combine the lengths back with the decel info compared to the other highest ranked contenders.
3. Early horses or horses that have the lead at the second call, should be in the top 3 TS (total speed) rating; also look to TS+F3 placement. You can find the TS rating on the velocity screen and unless the contenders are really close together in TS you can discard a lot of early horses ranked below 3.
Test with your info before adopting. It works for my style of line selection and other stuff.
