IMO, there are two ways to do it.
1. Use pace figures to determine if the pace was fast or slow relative to the final time and relative to what's normal for that class.
2. Become familiar with the quality and number of speed horses in a race, watch the race develop (which horses went, did the jockeys urge, did the field spread out early etc..) and then look at the result chart to see if the race fell apart, was a merry go round, or more neutral given the quality of the horses that were on the pace and those that tried to close.
A third way would be to do all the above and look at all the evidence.
