we used to this a lot in the early days remember???? here is my take.

from Ray Taulbot 5 steps handicapping process from his private lessons, step 2 as follow:
"...Rate these horses, using the race where the winner's final time is fastest and where the horse was either close to the pace or where it finished within about 5 lengths of the winner....."

all the horses are contender except #7 is a sprinter out he goes.

1...last line......145.9
2...line 10........143.5
3...line 6..........145.3
4...line 7..........145.4
5...line 4..........145.6
6...line 6 is turf line...143.5 or line 8 is dirt line...145.3
7...out
8...line 1..........145.9

who has the fastest line???? #2 with line 10
#8 beat 1-3-5 out in a mu race
who is left
#2 #6 and #8

with just 3 factors, close to the pace, within 5 lengths and fastest final time
you had the bomb. Talking about being contrarian.....sometime I wonder.

good luck all
