ABLE FRIEND HANDICAP

WT: 52kg Type: RST95-70 Fastest Time: 1:59.70 Romantic Warrior 17 Nov 2024 OPEN SOT:G

#2 Stunning Peach was touted last season as a leading Derby contender. After two luckless runs over the mile at Sha Tin and 1800m at Happy Valley this preparation, where he was unable to show his true ability, he now steps up to what should be his optimal trip—the Derby distance. #5 Bravehearts is thriving since joining the Mark Newnham stable and comes into this race with strong credentials, having won at this course, distance, and grade last start. He is far from finished yet. #6 Romantic Thor is improving with racing in Hong Kong. He placed third behind Bravehearts on his second local start last time and is one of seven four-year-olds in this race seeking to assert Derby claims. Blinkers are applied for the first time, a gear change worth noting. #3 Mickley presents as an intriguing runner on the seven-day back up. Since his first local win three starts ago, he endured a luckless run in the straight before closing into sixth last week. Testing the Derby distance for the first time, this outing will offer clarity on his standing among his peers.

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.
