Selection Criteria - Trainers?

What does the clan like to see in a trainer when it comes to making a selection? A world class one like Mike de Kock, or do you prefer up and coming trainers in your selection? And of course, what if a trainer has multiple runners in a race, which one do you go for? The one with the best jock? The one with an appy on? What about if they are in form or out of form, how do we predict when it's going to change. Let's brainstorm this topic and see what we come up with, maybe we can all learn something.
