Hong Kong racing shifts back to Happy Valley this Wednesday at 7:10 a.m. EDT. 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 - $1 Trifecta 3,9 with 1,2,3,4,5,9,10,12 with 1,2,3,4,5,9,10,12

In race 8, the AI model projects a pair of horses on top: Divano (no 3) and Swift Ascend (no 9). 

In addition to those two, the model projects another cluster of horses to be viable vertical plays based on their figures: Scotch Tycoon (no 10) and Gustosisimo (no 4). 

The 1200m 'C+3' turf course at Happy Valley is wildly biased for inside draws. Therefore, horses like Happy Fat Cat (no 5) and Sugar Sugar (no 2), even though their numbers are a step below those horses mentioned above, can be valuable inclusions on verticals to get prices underneath.
