In the maiden special weight ranks I look for two different scenarios based on gender-
For males I look for one of the last two races to have been finished within 5 lengths of the winner, any position, as a beaten favorite.
For females I look for the morning line to be 5/2 or less and the last race to have been finished within 5 lengths of the winner, any position.
I typically use these plays in exotics and multi-race wagers as they are often at lower off odds, however sometimes there are nice layovers.
