THE PREMIER CUP (HANDICAP) (G3)

WT: 54.5kg Type: CUP Fastest Time: 1:19.92 Packing Hermod 23 Mar 2025 RST100-80 SOT:GF

#6 Packing Hermod is hard to tip against. He’s been a standout four-year-old this season and since the blinkers went on two starts ago, he’s gone back-to-back in style. This is another test up in grade, but he’s ready to take the step. #1 Beauty Eternal can bounce back as he returns to 1400m. Four runs ago he closed off well for fourth behind Ka Ying Rising over this trip, and last start he returned to the placings at this level. #5 Patch Of Theta looks suited rising to 1400m following his strong-closing third behind Helios Express over 1200m. #3 Invincible Sage is a query at the distance, though his narrow defeat to Helios Express last time reads well and gives him a chance.

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
