I approach works a little differently. Instead of handicapping a race (or races) trying to decipher intent I check the daily work tabs at various tracks -- using certain time standards -- and store qualifiers in my virtual stable. I'm now looking for a race for my work-horse(s).
Because of the criteria a work must meet to be eligible I can be reasonably sure that a horse is fit and the trainer ain't gonna wait very long to strike.
When I get a notice that they are entered I handicap that race, decide what kind of odds are acceptable for conditions, and either bet or pass.
