TOTAL energy is like the gas in the tank and the style is the way they get the mileage, BUT you have to project

It depends upon which set of guidelines you choose to follow. You say you don't rely on the top five Total Energy but project off a performance showing improvement.

I handle it by relying heavily on the top five, but I reach further back for a line on a horse that is showing recent improvement and go with a good line. It serves me well most of the time and 90% of the winners come from top five total energy, at all size tracks. I rarely project a performance

There are many ways to handle most situations. It doesn't mean that one is right and the other wrong. The guidelines are not rules and everyone bends them in the way that works for them.
