Form Best Overall is a rating of a runner's potential performance based on several individual form ratings including;
- SkyForm Rating: takes into account relative weights, the current form pattern of runners and their record of consistency.
- Recent Form: based on SkyForm's handicapping program which concentrates on a runner's last three runs. Heavily penalises a runner that is resuming from a spell.
- Time Form: the assessment is based on the times runners have recorded over the past 12 months.
- Best Form (12 Months): runners which have produced the best SkyForm Ratings in the past 12 months.
- Distance: the handicapping system focuses on the last three runs each runner has had over the distance that is within 10% of the distance of the forthcoming race. If the runner hasn't competed over the distance, the computer will make an estimate of its ability.
- Class: concentrates on the past races that are similar in quality to the forthcoming race.
