If could could give you a general algorithm for it, I'd have already written it. The problem is that, as best as I can determine, this is just too complex to code. There are just too many possibilities. As a first step, you'd need to define an angle. Of course, one of the problems is that not only are there many angles, there are many variations of each angle. Here are a couple of more charts from horses that had a similar angle to Southern Arch -- a sharp move, against the grain, and then a cutback. (There have been many others, these are the two that come to mind at the moment.)

Reel Tipsy ran next out at 5F and won paying ~ 20:1

Skewed won next out going 5F paying ~ 23:1

Can you code this?
