#3 Young Champion has good form around both Packing Hermod and Light Years Charm, running third to each in recent starts. From barrier 1, he might get the run needed to turn the tables. #4 Light Years Charm is chasing a hat-trick after a dominant Class 2 win last time out. He’s clearly in top form, but his tendency to be slow away and barrier 10 make him beatable. #11 Brilliant Express rises into Class 2 but gets in with a light weight. The wide draw isn’t ideal, though he has gone forward from similar gates before. #5 Soleil Fighter is yet to win at Sha Tin but keeps running solid races and with blinkers on for the first time, he could find the improvement.

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

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
