I like to see some subtle stuff where the form was darkened by the flow of the race.
Say no one was making up ground, closing off a moderate/slow pace? Our horse came from near last to run fourth... The other contenders had forward trips...
Those are the beginnings of a gallop-out, that I want to compare different horse's comparisons. That's where if you find an example who was genuinely against the grain, the gallop out may offer more than face value.
If there's no bias and discernable flow, you don't want to upgrade horses for being plodders or closers.
