Welcome to the 2016 Audemars Piguet QEII Cup to be held on Sunday 24th April. A world class line-up of 13 select runners will be featured in the first of Hong Kong’s four international G1 highlights this spring. An exciting trio from Japan, featuring dual G1 hero Lovely Day, will join Ireland’s Hong Kong Vase hero Highland Reel, the UAE’s Ertijaal, and Australia’s Rising Romance in challenging Hong Kong’s finest 2000-metre stars, led by Designs On Rome, in the Sha Tin showpiece which is the world’s ninth-highest rated race. In the FORM GUIDE, the PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS table provides you with a bird-eye's view of the race. This at-a-glance guide gives you a full form summary of the horses in a simple and concise table. Another handy tool is the INTERNATIONAL RATINGS CHART. In weight-for-age races like the Audemars Piguet QEII Cup, generally speaking, the higher a horse's rating, which is based on racing performance, the better its chance to win. A preliminary SPEED CHART has been included to assist in identifying likely positions in running. Please note that this is preliminary only and the full Speed Map will be available after barrier draw in the SpeedPOWER Form Guide on www.hkjc.com/english/formguide/formguide.asp. If you need further information and analysis, just flip over to the next section where you will find the COMPREHENSIVE PAST PERFORMANCE of the horses. Also included is the FORM ANALYSIS, which highlights the notable achievements and racing characteristics of each horse. Another feature is the RATINGS HISTORY CHART. This chart indicates the quality and consistency of a horse's previous 10 starts through a graphical illustration of the ratings achieved in these races.

There is only a short run to the first turn and then they’re on that turn until the 1400m. There is an unusually large number Werther 113 of horses that normally race “fairly handy” to the lead, yet there are none Horse Of Fortune 111 which normally lead. So the barrier draw will be critical to the finalization Nuovo Record 115+4 of this speed map. Some horses have split profiles, ie, racing handy Rising Romance 111+4 when they draw well but positioning further back when they draw wide. The more certain element of the map is that the illustrated backmakers Average performance rating of 5 most recent winners = 118. * 4 lb. weight allowance added to rating for fillies and mares. have no real versatility, and they’ll definitely be rearward.
