Free past performances are available at Horse Racing Nation as well as full card selections. And for more free handicapping information, visit the Hong Kong Jockey Club website.

This season we are going to be using our Hong Kong AI analysis developed for HRN's machine learning and advanced analytics.

Race 8 - Exacta Box 5, 8

This scenario suggests a vertical wager that should be fair value given the speed advantage and projected odds.
