Forecast - excellant idea.
I have tried to model the infamous E/L readouts from this data, but can never get the same numbers as Val3 spits out. I have also been able to model the old Energy@ readouts of percent for each fraction - ie, 35.44% - 33.67% - 30.12% with some luck, at least in coming up with recognizable energy distributon patterns.
An idea I have just started working is using the horse's three fraction energy percentages against the dream race three fractions to set a "par", or I am calling a target, for today's race. Then, comparing the differences in each fraction, come up with a number that represents how close each horse matches up to the whole race. Sounded good at the time, but it is not the quick fix I had hoped for!
