THE SHA TIN VASE (HANDICAP) (G3)

WT: 52kg Type: OPEN Fastest Time: 1:07.10 Ka Ying Rising 26 Apr 2026 OPEN(WFA) SOT:GF

#1 Raging Blizzard steps out of Ka Ying Rising’s shadow for the first time in a long while, but the handicap conditions leave him with top weight as the highest-rated runner. That makes this no easy task, although he remains the one to beat. #7 Patch Of Stars draws barrier 1 and that matters in a fiercely competitive handicap where the right run could prove decisive. #8 Crimson Flash ran a slashing second to Patch Of Stars last start after being slow to begin and settling further back than usual. Barrier 9 might force quieter tactics again, but he has now shown a potent turn of foot when the race shape allows. #2 Beauty Waves takes a decent drop in class after recent runs in Group 1 and Group 2 company, and his trial since was sound. Barrier 3 also gives him a good set-up.

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
