    I do totally agree with those of you who think the spotlight verdicts are poor. They always seem to go with the 5/4 odds on and then the following race the second favourite who inevitably gets pulled up. I did a little study and found both the racing post spotlights and time form operate at about a 2/6 race success per meet. Of course they have good days but they have shockers too. That said they are human!

    Just wondering if Im not betting in handicaps what during the week do i do? i know at weekends we have group, listed etc. but during the week its novices and maidens?
    surely their more risky given that there is so little to go on??

    Hey guys,

    Big thanks to all that replied. I think I have resolved my issue with weight now and indeed front runners.

    I had one that won today actually – 3.00 Hereford : Quinte Du Chatelet (for future reference)

    I do agree that there certainly is no exact science to picking winners. The favourite in the race i just mentioned came 6th, miles away.

    If i need any more advice I’ll know where to come. Thanks again everyone.

    Jibby
