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

Race 6 - Win/Show: 9

The AI model projects that Little Fairy (no 9) carrying just 119 lbs has a decisive speed advantage and is projected to be a price at 8-1. 

Underneath this top choice the race is wide open - the next six fastest speed figures are separated by just 1.2 points.

Of these, Kasa Papa (no 12) is carrying low weight and his draw and projected early pace point to a ground saving trip that offers excellent value (projected 16-1 odds and the third fastest projected speed figure).
