The one piece of advice I will give. You need think about certain situations that arise from time to time ahead of time. A classic example of this is a horse who ran a reasonable close 2nd or 3rd in a stakes races at fairly high odds dropping back into a NW of 1 or 2 or maybe even a maiden race. What do you think about that horse? You should have idea of about it (and others just like it) before you see in it in the past performances. There are hundreds of cases like that one where you should not be trying guess what do as the post time approaches. You need to think it through ahead of time without the pressure of making a bet. Very good poker players do this. It is like knowing chess openings. If you play "on the fly" you will get burned bad.
