#1 Happy United is well-placed on the downgrade after mixed form in Class 3. His strong course and distance record enhances his prospects, and Zac Purton taking the ride from barrier 1 adds further confidence.#5 Bits Superstar is showing improvement with more racing in Hong Kong and indicated his form is on the up last start with a fast-finishing fifth from a wide gate. Moving into barrier 3 is a positive. #7 Rewarding Twinkle caught the eye with his late charge into fifth over 1200m last time, beaten under two lengths despite drawing widest. He has displayed tactical speed in trials and could settle closer with early intent, but barrier 11 is the query. #6 Champion Method had excuses last start, pulling up with blood in the trachea, but his big win two starts ago off the back of a betting plunge makes him worth watching again, especially if market support returns.

INTERACTIVE FORM

Racing And Sports has two quality interactive form systems which you as the user can adjust to your own specific tastes and thoughts. We've detailed below how to use both the Neurals and Worksheet areas of a race guide.

Neurals

These are computer enhanced analyses of all the areas which go into making up a race field. They factor in algorithms for every contingency as explained below and added them up to generate the likely best horse in a race.

When you go into them via the Form Guide page you simply run your mouse over any column and you can sort the field by any individual type of Neural Rating which determines the final total (and therefore best rater).

Explanation of Inputs for Neural Analysis

CP Career performance assessment based on weight/class algorithms
CF Current form measured by class/weight algorithms
TIM Revolutionary time assessment (adjusted algorithm)
JA Jockey ability algorithm
TA Trainer ability algorithm
JT Jockey/trainer combination algorithm
WT Wet track performance algorithm
Crs Course suitability algorithm
D Distance suitability algorithm
$ Prizemoney earned algorithm
BP Barrier position (course & distance) algorithm
DLR Days since last run algorithm
  • The user sets the level of importance from the Preference Scale (1 to 5 or No) for each algorithm and the output weightings are listed within seconds.
  • The Neural factor analysis will quickly identify for you just who are the main chances in each race, the highest to the lowest based on the factor weightings

Chances are you’re about to lose.
