Hi,

I'm trying to determine whether a selection is in the bottom (say) 3 weights (in horse racing).
There are conditions for checking whether a selection is top or bottom weight, but I can't see how to determine anything in between.  You can sort selections by silk_weight (I guess), but then how do you determine which selection sits where in the list if it's not at the top or bottom of the list?  Is there a way of indexing into that (internal) list?

Put simply, I want to be able to discount a selection if it is in the bottom 3 weights.

If it is the bottom weight, that's easy.  But second or third bottom?

Maybe an idea for a new selection condition?

We have 1st - 5th favourite and probable loser based on price.  Maybe a similar thing for weights?
Top weight, 2nd top weight, 3rd top weight, bottom weight, 2nd bottom weight, 3rd bottom weight?

Hi Wez,

Your line of thinking is correct.

You first sort them by silk_weight and then check if their matching number is in the last three positions:

Selection's Sorting Order is defined by silk_weight
and Selection's Trigger Expression matching_number is greater than runner_number-3
Always try your triggers in Test Mode before switching to real money!
