Handicapping by feel, I would say the following are important:
1) Early speed, of course
2) Post position depending on where the race starts (i.e., is it a straight before the turn, does it start on the turn, etc.)
3) Gate works. A lot of these races are carded for 2 year olds so seeing a few quick gate works probably bodes well
4) Workout pace in general. The faster the better
5) Jockey proficiency with getting a horse out of the gate fast. Is this a jockey that is known for getting a lot of early speed out of his mounts?
Interested in others' thoughts as well.

these are great.
most of the rest comes down to fundamental stuff that applies to most racing
