Gregory Bourdy 28/1
David Horsey 40/1
& Jaco Van Zyl 14/1
A little concerned about Van Zyl's ability to finish the job off but this has got to be his best chance of a Euro Tour title. Best of luck everyone!

Round 2 plays (2pts):
Raphael Jacquelin to beat Trevor Fisher, Jr. -130 @ 5Dimes
Already in the top-25 after rd1, this is a place where Jacquelin should stay. He already has finishes of 13th, 31st, 27th and 25th this season and he has a particularly good record in South Africa - in his last four events here, he has finished 22nd, 7th, 5th and 13th. Fisher, Jr. is playing his 47th European Tour event this week and today was the 5th time that he has finished rd1 inside the top-10. On all four previous occasions, he has finished the event in a lower position than after rd1 and I expect the same thing to happen this week.
Raphael Jacquelin to beat Kristoffer Broberg +100 @ SkyBet
Looking to oppose Broberg who finished rd1 behind Jacquelin and this has become a common occurence in this matchup - the Frenchman holds a 7-2-0 h2h lead over his opponent over the last six months. This is already Broberg's 7th start of the season and after a slow start that may make it a little more difficult to recover this week.

Round 3 plays (2pts):
Keith Horne to beat Oliver Bekker -139 @ Pinnacle [available generally]
Horne is justifiably a short-price favourite - he leads Bekker 15-7-1 h2h since the start of 2014 and is in particularly good form having finished 2nd in the Dimension Data Pro-Am two weeks ago. He certainly looks capable of matching last year's top-10 finish.
Andrew Johnston to beat David Drysdale -120 @ Paddy Power [availabl3 generally]
Drysdale is opposed on the basis of his form - he had missed four cuts in a row prior to this event and he fell over 20 places to 35th during today's round. Johnson has hit his drives further and hit more fairways and greens than Drysdale over the first 36 holes, so looks far more likely to climb the leaderboard over the next 36 holes.
