THE HAKKA CUP (HANDICAP)

Type: RST80-60 Fastest Time: 1:19.36 Ka Ying Rising 22 Feb 2026 OPEN(WFA) SOT:G

#10 Red Maestro is third-up in Hong Kong and ready to win. First-up, he ran a fast-finishing fifth over 1,200m in a race run against his position in running, before stepping to 1,400m second-up and only finding Baby Sakura too good in the finish. That is a solid form reference here and he has trialled well since. #3 Savvy Brilliant comes off two unlucky runs. Two starts ago, he was held up with nowhere to go late, while last start he copped a nasty check in the straight and was eased down. #5 Circuit Champion is first-up since his second win from three starts in March, although he pulled up with blood in the trachea. It was a big win after he missed the start and lost a stack of ground. #8 Aeroinvincible went too quickly in front last start and set it up for those behind him, but he still stuck on for fourth and was beaten under a length.

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
