Hi GL45

We can also ask can you do the match up without knowing
who the leaders will be at the second call and can those leaders have enough late energy to hold on ,

So If you know how to interpret the ERP ratings , and the early - late difference
graph or "sticks" and The LPR ratings and you take the time to learn how to identify a horses running style, You can matchup

Remember TPR is the Total Pace Rating of Phase 1
What TPR is really is 2 readouts Early pace and Late pace which when added together gets a Total Pace Rating

So If you master Phase 1, totally you can Match Up
It takes lots of practice and intuition, You will have trouble just if you just look at the numbers because the race starts at the gate. we need to know how the horses get to the second call, It is just as important as where they are at the second call . Did they use too much of there total energy ? Will they decelerate relative to their velocity too much.
