Round 2 play (2pts):
Soren Hansen to beat Matteo Manassero -105 @ 5Dimes
Good odds to oppose the first round leader. It is normally very difficult to follow up such a low 1st round score and it should be particularly so for a player who, even though he is a prodigious talent, has only finished the inside the top-10 of a European Tour event on two previous occasions: he shot 72 in the Dubai Desert Classic when starting the second round in 7th place and he shot 72 when starting the third round of the Italian Open in 10th place. Hansen played well in the first round to finish the day in 10th place and looks the more likely to continue his momentum into Friday.
[unofficial rd2 system plays: Clarke tb Rumford -105; Lafeber tb Coles -110; Donaldson tb Storm -110; Lowry tb Webster +125]

Round 3 play (2pts):
Anthony Wall to beat Graeme Storm +100 @ Bet365 [also available @ 5Dimes, Stan James, Paddy Power and Carib]
Opposing Storm in this position. He has started the weekend in the top-10 on six occasions over the past year and finished it still in the top-10 just once. No such problems for Wall, who was in a similar position two weeks ago at the Czech Open and finished 4th.

3rd round at SIA:
Jimenez -125 over Manassero (ties lose)
Been riding Jimenez for a while now and has been playing consistently well. I just can't see the kid handling the pressure playing with Jimenez and Molinari for the lead. The only thing that scares me a little is that this is Jimenez 5th week in a row and I hope I don't step out with him when the fatigue catches up to him.

Round 4 play (2pts):
Wen-Chong Liang to beat Alejandro Canizares -115 @ Carib [also available @ 5Dimes]
Backing Liang to continue his good form into Sunday. In his last three starts, he has finished 4th and 3rd on the Japan Tour and 8th in the PGA Championship, and he has now shot 64-70 over the last 36 holes after an opening 76 on his course debut had seen him finish Thursday in 148th place. Canizares has been moving in the opposite direction, shooting each round higher than the previous one after finishing the first round in the top-10. It's difficult to see him bouncing back from his current 58th place position.
