Round 1 play (2pts):
Jaco Van Zyl to beat Julien Quesne -110 @ 5Dimes
Van Zyl didn't close out last week's event particularly well, but he is still a player in very good form. Last week, he was inside the top-10 after the 1st round and in his previous event (the Turkish Airlines Open), he led the event for three rounds and, desite shooting a final round 67, finished a shot behind Victor Dubuisson. He is inaide the top-20 in the Race to Dubai Standing (Quesne is 44th) and ranks 79th in the World Rankings (Quesne is 177th), so he is clearly a better player as well as being in better form than his opponent.
[unofficial rd1 system plays: Fraser tb Karlberg -125; Fraser tb Zanotti -110]

Round 2 play (2pts):
Justin Rose to beat Branden Grace -150 @ SkyBet
Rose get himself back into contention today not only for this event, but also the Race to Dubai title. He is now in 7th place, five shots behind Andy Sullivan, and needs a 2nd place or better to have a chance of winning the title as #1 on the European Tour this season. As well as having the form to win - he has finished 2nd, 6th, 1st and 7th in his last four starts and 2nd, 10th and 2nd in the last three years here - he is also playing better than Grace this week, ranking higher than the South African in dirving distance, driving accuracy and greens in regulation so far this week. I fully expect him to finish the day still in strong contention for both titles this week.
[unofficial rd3 system plays: McIlroy tb Jaidee -200; Fisher tb Kieffer -150; Westwood tb Stal -125; Molinari tb Fraser -150]

Round 4 play (2pts):
Kiradech Aphibarnrat to beat Thomas Pieters +102 @ Pinnacle [also available @ 5Dimes, SkyBet and Paddy Power]
A small play on Aphibarnrat at these odds. He ranks higher than Pieters in both the World Rankings and the Race to Dubai and he holds a winning h2h record against Pieters over both 72 holes and in rd4 alone in 2015. He is a better player than Pieters and should be the favourite in this matchup.
