I like horses who have run par, especially if they are at a price and have run it fairly recently, and I think there is a false favorite.
I also like fields where no one has run par, but the tote is tilted towards one or two contenders that you feel comfortable tossing. Sometimes you can catch a price betting on the imbalance, especially in the verticals, and I imagine most of us have done it at one time or another.
