#10 Geneva comes to Happy Valley for the first time boasting strong Sha Tin form, including a last-start win over Thunder Kit, who won on Sunday. Class 2 is a fresh test, but he is good enough, and the race should be run at a good tempo to suit his profile. He will be hard to hold out. #4 Sky Trust trialled very well when leading at Happy Valley into this race. Barrier 3 provides him with an ideal map after he raced wide from barrier 9 at Sha Tin last time. #6 Regal Gem resumes off his Derby run, where 2,000m was a tough task. His trial for his return was full of promise and coming back to this track and trip ticks boxes. #12 Glowing Praises gets in with a featherweight of 108 pounds after Britney Wong’s claim is accounted for, and barrier 2, off three straight placings, leaves him very well placed today.

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
