That, to me, epitomises the true punting dilemma, and it's what one makes of the form that will directly influence whatever chances they accord the principals in future.
On the one hand we have (loosely) Fist's "he won't win another decent race" and the other, Euro's "all he needs is a strong pace", and there's a broad spectrum of interpretation between.
Unless, and until, the aspirant punter can pinpoint the reasons astutely, he cannot even begin to put an accurate price on their chances, and will always (imvho) be subject to the vagaries of happenstance.
Maybe I'm biased, as I've approached racing from a very different angle to JW, but I've long believed the ideal is to eliminate as much guesswork as possible, rather than allow for it in the prices.
