#5 Invincible Ibis will be hard to hold out second-up. He ran a huge race on debut despite going under as the red-hot favourite. He wasn’t the quickest away, copped some interference at the 700m, and was close to three lengths off the eventual winner at the 400m, but reeled him in to be beaten only a head on the line. #6 Flowing Riches acquitted himself well for second on debut and can take another step forward. He did some early work from barrier 10 to sit outside the lead, while the winner enjoyed a soft run from barrier 1. #2 Blazing Wukong was strong late winning on debut from the rear of the field. He showed an impressive turn of foot and there’s more to come. #4 Voyage Boss was also a first-up winner and did it on the pace. The tempo suited that day, and a different race shape here presents a new test.

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
