#4 Fortune Boy picked up his first win at just his second try over the mile last start, scoring over Wrote A New Page who has since franked the form. He’s only a three-year-old who’s coming to hand and looks to have a few points up his sleeve. #1 Mister Dapper chases back-to-back wins and a third from six runs since transferring to David Eustace’s stable. He maps well and has strong claims. #14 Pearl Of Pang’s slots in light and off a third behind Ping Hai Comet, he gets his chance to break through. #13 Fight Time does qualify for Class 5 on his 40-rating but remains in Class 4 at the foot of the weights and Wong’s 10lb claim. He’s a 16-start maiden, though his back-to-back thirds behind Dazzling Fit and Mister Dapper bode well.

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
