I know what you mean; I only manage to nail about one a night
(if I'm lucky
).
I think that half the skill is knowing the track - some may complain that songs are played night after night, but that just means that you know all the breaks and when the end of the track is looming.
I also think that listening to a lot of music in general; listening to the ebb and flow of songs, you can almost predict where songs are going, even if you have never heard them before.
I also find that if the finishing move is finishing before the end of the song, and you realise half way through it, you can slow it right down so that the last couple of phases are slow and slinky.
The other thing is knowing finishing bits that you can turn almost any move into; Gus's leans & dips workshop showed a couple of different leads into roughly the same dip: I would recommend taking workshops.
