There are 2 common approaches to finding value.
1. Figure out how important each factor is in predicting the winner and then combine them into a model for making an odds line to determine your value plays.
2. Try to find factors/angles that the public often under/over estimates and use filters and combinations of them to find value plays
If you use approach #1, then you are probably interested in a rating that measures the skills of the jockey that you will combine with similar data on the horse, trainer, etc...
If you use approach #2, then you are interested in which jockeys are under/over bet in certain situations.
