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

Hong Kong hosts two Grade 1 stakes this week at Sha Tin, the Centenary Sprint Cup and the Stewards' Cup. The action kicks off Saturday at 11:30 p.m. EST.

Full card preview of late night in Hong Kong.

Race 8 - Trifecta  - 1 with 8 with 2,3,5,6,7

The best vertical value comes in race 8, the Group 1 Stewards’ Cup. 

The model projects no. 1 Voyage Bubble with jockey James McDonald aboard as the favorite at 7-5 odds. 

The likely second choice in the betting, no. 8 Patch of Theta, also has a strong win probability and speed metrics that make him competitive. 

Underneath these top two three other horses look the most competitive with speed metrics a cut above the rest of the field. They are no. 3 Beauty Eternal, no. 5 Galaxy Patch and no. 6 Changcheng Glory. 

Free past performances are available at HRN as well as full card selections. And for more free handicapping information, visit the Hong Kong Jockey Club website.
Coverage of the entire Hong Kong Thoroughbred season at Horse Racing Nation is made possible through a sponsorship by the Hong Kong Jockey Club.
