With a prize fund of £12938 up for grabs, the 17.25 at Newmarket (The Thoroughbred Breeders' Association Fillies' Handicap) is by far the most valuable race carded in the UK today.

However, as indicated by the key features within the Proform Race Guide, the race has a competitive shape.

The OR vs HiOR columns compares each horses official rating against its highest winning handicap mark in the same race type.

As show in the column, a number of horses will need to defy their race BHA rating to win the race.

The Speed vs Par graphic visualises each horses last time out speed rating against the class par for winners at today’s race type.

If there are no excuses for under sub par last time out Speed Rating, a number of horses in the race will need to improve upon efforts in their previous race.

To make the task of detecting patterns or key parameters easy, our Proform Race Guides are unique in that they present important race information and statistical data visually.

As shown by the examples above, in what looks like a competitive race, punters may need to look beyond the obvious to determine the winner .
