#5 Flying Dragon can prove more competitive on his second attempt in the cellar grade, switching back to his best course and distance where all three of his career wins have come. With plenty of early speed expected, the race shape should suit his style. #6 Fung gets a significant jockey upgrade with Zac Purton taking over from an apprentice. On his first Class 5 outing, he led and gave a good sight before fading late into fourth. With that run under his belt, he’s well-placed to improve. #2 Smart Leader drops back into Class 5, a grade where he boasts a strong record. Reunited with Keagan De Melo, who guided him to victory at this course and distance four starts ago, the 10-year-old can be in the mix. #11 Patch Of Watch had excuses last time, pulling up with blood in the trachea. From barrier 2 and with Brittney Wong’s 10lb claim, he’s well-drawn to improve his form.

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.
