The AI model projects that no. 1 Amazing Fun, a winner in its first start, will be the 6-5 favorite.
This race presents a great betting opportunity as Amazing Fun is a second-time starter, first off the layoff, carrying top weight, first time around a turn and first time racing on the dirt.
No. 8 Strive For Glory is a value play in this race. The AI model projects he will have the top speed and go off at 9-1 odds. Two of this horse’s four wins have come on the dirt at Sha Tin, and the favorable inside draw will assist in a ground-saving trip.
