1. Start with the Group 1 races

These races are worth the most points and the top-two placegetters both earn prices increases. Most of these horses will blow up the budget – with the exception of the three-year-olds. Fit as many as can before moving on to the Group 2, Group 3 and Listed races.

2. Load up with 3YOs

They are vital to your salary cap and earn the same points as the older horses. The more three-year-old races in a given round the better.

3. Choose your captain carefully

As the skipper scores double points, make sure it’s your best hope of winning a Group 1. The only time I would consider nominating a captain in a Group 2 is if that horse looked a good thing.

4. Check the odds

Theoretically, the shorter odds of a horse the greater their chances of winnings. There could be some easy points to be won in Group 3 and Listed races. Case in point was Surprise Baby in The Bart Cummings last year.

5. Pick cheapies

The $50k horses are gold, particularly those high in the betting, and their price can’t drop if they finish last. Horses assessed at $75k are also invaluable provided they’re not out of their depth in a particular race.

6. The jockey

Jockeys receive points on a 3-2-1 basis if their horses finish in the top three, regardless of the standard of the race. Pick a jockey with the biggest book of rides and the best winning
