Hong Kong AI play: Top choice fits perfectly at this distance

This season we are going to be using our Hong Kong AI analysis developed for Horse Racing Nation's machine learning and advanced analytics. It has revealed a trifecta play for Saturday night into Sunday morning at Sha Tin.

Race 10: Trifecta 10 with 2,13,14 with 2,8,11,13,14

This is the most intriguing race of the day.

Based on the model's projected speed figures, there are three win candidates: no. 13 Fast Network, no. 14 I Give and no. 10 Bottomuptogether.

Fast Network is running back one week from a disappointing fourth place finish and is stretching out to six furlongs with a jockey change, Matthew Poon in place of Zac Purton.

While dominant at this course and distance early last season, I Give has yet to regain that form and has consistently faded late in his last seven starts.

Meanwhile Bottomuptogether has been very competitive and, despite fading last race when stretching out to seven furlongs, should run strong back at his preferred distance.

Further, Wunderbar no. 2, the projected 5-2 favorite, is expected to have speed just below these three, but is finally drawn very wide, a challenge he has not previously faced.

The Sha Tin starts Saturday at 11:45 p.m. EST and runs until Sunday at about 5 a.m.
