Personally, I read conditions first, look at all last races with no consideration given to the entry, only interested in the class and speed of the race it is coming out of. That's my first two moves. If there is interest in this thread I will continue.

In order of preference I look first at:
1. Class
2. Distance
3. Pace
4. Style
5. Weight
