I'll give you an idea of how you can use these numbers, in races where a lot of horses project to be on or near the lead (horses with similar early pace numbers), instead of looking for the best closers, look for horses that figure to be positioned just behind the early runners. A lot of times, it's not actually the horse with the best late kick that wins. It's the horse that gets the first run on the leaders and passes them while they're tiring. The late closers then kind of keep plugging and finish third and fourth.
In races where there aren't that many horses with sharp early speed numbers, look for good value among the horses that do have good early speed because one of those horses will probably win, either wire to wire or off a stalking or pressing trip.
