I tend to look at the top 5 TPR numbers and the top 3 EP and LP ratings from the LAST RACE ONLY! as advocated by Bill V. it works! not all the time, nothing does all the time!
Hello Papa John

Just to be clear,

I look at every horse's last pace line and rate those lines.
This is just a preliminary step. The winner of the race almost always comes from the top 5 TPR line 1 pacelines, but my work does not end here.

Once I have the ratings for every horse, I go back and see if the last paceline may not be representative of today's race.
I then look at the most recent lines. Then I decide if the last line warrants
me to stay with the line or move down to a different pace line.
Once I have picked lines for my true contenders. I make sure to include the top 3 EP and LP rated horses, These horses usually already have the top 5 TPR's

Looking at the last line and taking the top 5 TPR"s is not how I work races
It's a recommended step in the book Pace Makes The Race (Original version)
