I only have anecdotal research to support this angle, which may not be the "most powerful" or academic but has certainly had its share of success.
I'll be glad to share it with you but understand that it cannot be found in the PPs, it requires you to be at the paddock pre-race.
First Step - Take a good look at owners as they enter the paddock. Keep a keen eye on the owner's group for young wives, hot daughters, emirate airlines stewardess and other Boom-Ba-Latties.
Second Step - Identify which group of owners has the most "back-class" in their posse.
Third Step - When the Jockeys enter the paddock, confirm that the Jockey riding the horse owned by the group selected in the second step is also interested in "back-class." Hugs, oddly-long handshakes, wandering eyes are all clear signals.
Fourth Step - Place a large win wager with confidence on those connections, regardless of horse. As logic indicates, that jockey has a solid 10 minute post parade to think about "back-class" and the possibility of meeting those owners again in the winner’s circle. Based on my experience, by the time the gates open, that horse has about an 80% chance of winning.
