18:30 FK Austria Vienna v SCR Altach
FK Austria Vienna #3-1
FK Austria to have a resounding victory over a tea, that is struggling in the relagtion ivision at present with just five wins from 28 appearances so far this season. They mneed nsomething special here but are unlikely to get it away from home against this side, so 3-1 for the home side for me.
16:00 FC Inter v EIF
FC Inter #5-1
50 WIN
@41.00
Lose
-50
FC Inter top the table with a fine 27-5-1 record from their 33 games this season while their rivals should struggle to match their skills in every department, given their previous record. Anything can happen in football but if Inter play up to their best form I can see this ending badly for Eif.
12:00 Shenzhen Xinpengcheng v Qingdao Hainiu
Draw #1-1
Both teams have the abilitiy to win this but there might be a cancelling out of their attacking and defensive capabilities here and the facvourites at home might have to settle for a draw.
11:00 Qingdao West Coast v Nantong Zhiyun
Qingdao West Coast #3-1
West Coast are playing well enough at home to get home here against a good rival and I see the competitive nature of bnoth sides resulting in a four goal game, favouring the homesiders 3-1.
10:45 Brisbane Roar v Adelaide United
Adelaide United #2-1
Adelaide United are omn a bit of a roll with a hattrick of recetn wins and the Roar, even at home, have failry similar win stats but their defence has been lacking this season and Adelaide could exploit it.

Bannister

@17.00
Lose
-50
Bannister could upset here. On longest break away from racing but has ability and has scored two wins while fresh previously. Has won three times in good track conditions and likely to get that again here. Ready to make a solid debut from new yard.

Grasshopper Time

@10.00

Alex Hales and Harry Bannister combine here. Has needed racing and likely to be growing in confidence over the hurdles now with recent experience. Looking likely to put a hoof in the till soon.
17:15 5:15 Wexford
Wild Hunt
Daily Racing
25 EW
@17.00
Lose
-50
Wild Hunt doesn't have much in the way of form and should probably be at better odds than 16-1 but he's won at this trip in similar ground too and being a son of Dubawi should get through the ground better than most.
16:00 Al Feiha v Al Taee
Al Feiha #3-1
50 WIN
@17.00
Lose
-50
Al Feiha have good strikers and their positional play is usually very sound. Defenisvely I think their rivals might be found wanting and with the home advantage I expect Al Feiha to come out blazing. So 3-1 for me.
14:45 UTA Arad v Otelul Galati
Draw #1-1
50 WIN
@6.00
Lose
-50
These two teams are both capable of winning at their best but I suspect they might cancel each other out in a tight game defensively and that's why I think this could be a draw at a goal apiece. a

Six And Out
Daily Racing

@34.00
Lose
-50
This horse is underated and could take this out at decent odds given that he's only really run one poor race and that was in soft ground, which obviously didn't suit. Back on firmer conditions I'm expecting a decent improvement.

50 WIN
@4.00

-50
Going the favourite way here and with both teams to score and the Newcastle striekrs on form this could be a nice result at 4.00
19:45 Wolverhampton v Bournemouth
Wolverhampton & Yes (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
50 WIN
@4.00
Lose
-50
Wolverhampton are considered very slim favourites over their rivals and that's probably down to the supposed home advantage but the bookies are more confident that both teams will score, offering just 1.53 for that. I'll go for the BTTS and Wolves to take this out then.
Draw #2-2
50 WIN
@12.00
Lose
-50
Both teams will be hungry here and that could lead to mistakes if they both play attacking football and allow gaps for counter attacks and I think that could lead to four goals here. Let's say 2-apiece for argument;s sake and a 12.00 result.

Wreck It Ryley should appreciate the conditions and has come abck stronger this season than last time in. Good third when rsumingn and witht he benefit fo that experience, should be ready to step up and take the money in this.

City Of God to be the surprise package in this field. Has won three from a dozen outings and not short on ability when caught at best. Strong form before the let-up and likely to return better for that time off.

Lonesome Dream has the apce to take up a prominent role and if reserved for a kick in the home stretch could outstay these with best effort.

War Colors should come out of the stalls running and should lead this lot with any luck. On the frsh side after 29 weeks away from racing and win would not surprise.

Looks like a competitive race and for that reason the likely imrpover off the back of that debut fourth place is Starsoverparadise, who could shine bright with that race under the belt.

Spasnish Doubloon is as honest as they come for those in this grade and should race well again. Drawn to effect and no surprise to see in the finish again.

Wildwood Ghaly's win was on this course last term and is coming into this looking a stronger horse after just over six months away from racing. Expecting a bold showing.

Lord Zeke
Daily Racing
25 EW
@SP
Lose
-50
Lord Zeke looks like the big improver here as a good few of these are coming off long lay offs and may need the run. He's had an eight week freshen-up and this track should suit him better than Turfway park where he failed last time out. Has the pace to trouble this lot.

Wyndham Clark is not quite producing the consistency to take a tournament out at present but is usually good for a solid start, as he showed at the Masters and a similar start here could see him top the leaderboard on day one.
Matt Fitzpatrick
Top European

@7.00

-50
Matt Fitzpatrick was in outstanding form here last year and is a strong chance in his current form to be a big threat to McIlroy and company in this particular division betting pool.
Xander Schauffele
Top American
25 EW
@9.50
Lose
-50
Xander played well at the Masters and just had the misfortune to run into one as good as Scheffler but I was impressed by the bulk of his game and with a tweak or to and an ounce of luck on his side he could be the top American here.
Matt Fitzpatrick
Top GB and Ireland
50 WIN
@4.50

Matt Fitzpatrick is where I am putting all my eggs in terms of these sorts of bets. His perfromance for a good part of the Masters was impressive enough to to see him threatening the favourites here.

Matt Fitzpatrick

@26.00
Lose
-50
Matt Fitzpatrick is playing some good, consistent golf and that's what it takes to win here. If he can correct his game jsut a ltitle he could take this out. He lost the playoff to Speith last year but could put the record straight on this course this time of asking.

Goes best on top of the ground and will appreciate the better conditions on offer here. Freddie Gordon rides for first time for Chris Gordon and he is accomplished enough to give this horse every chance of taking this out. At peak for this after Plumpton victory.

Thomas Dowson has a great record ovetr the bigger fences and is a very underrated rider in my humble opinion. Kirby can train chasers too and also has a fine touch with them. Together on a horse who has shown pace on the flat at NH level on debut and has had two runs back to steel for this, I see the upset on the cards here if he can put his education over the bigger fences together on race day.

K H Lee
25 EW
@41.00
Lose
-50
Lee is a useful golfer and always capable of bobbing up into the money when least expected. If he can run long off the tee then his putting abilities should see him right in this.
Ricky Barnes
1st Round Leader
25 EW
@201.00
Lose
-50
Ricky Barnes is a veteran golfer from the USA who can be a bit hit and miss but this tournament doesn't attract the best golfers around and so it's anyone's day really. He's an upset chance at huge odds overall but I could see him leading this early if he produced his best game.
21:45 Invited Celebrity Classic
Alex Cejka
50 WIN
@8.50

This golfer is on fire at present and was a fine third in this event last year. I think he can go two better this time in his present form.

Chase Seiffert
25 EW
@46.00
Lose
-50
Chase Seiffert will be well suited by a course like this, which often sees the best players finishing 20 under and with a little improvement he is capable of a prominent place here. He made the top 5 last year. Horses for courses anyone?
20:25 The Chevron Championship
Lydia Ko
25 EW
@29.00
Lose
-50
Lydia Ko is a golfer who is always a threat. She hasn't perfoermed that well on this particular course but is due a change of luck and isn't far off her best again. If she can nail her puting she could turn her Chevron form of recent years around.
Ariya Jutanugarn
1st Round Leader
25 EW
@91.00
Lose
-50
Ariya Jutanagam is a fine player with enough ability to trouble this field early, even though her recent form hasn't been up to what she is capable at her best. Form is temporary but class is permanent.

Mickey The Steel is adept in bad ground and with a freshen up could be a real threat here at odds. Won at Curragh in just these conditions previously and the five pound allowance will work in favour.

Five pound claim enthuses me here with the likelihood of heavy conditions. Has won twice in the mud previously and so the underfoot conditions should suit nicely for resumption.

Casandra Alexander is playing some good golf this season and won the ABSA championship, pocketing a nice payday of 190,000 rand in the process. No great surprise to see her local knowledge come tot he fore again here.
15:00 Crystal Palace v West Ham
Crystal Palace & Yes (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
50 WIN
@4.00
Win
150
The bookies are very undecided on whether there is a BTTS option here, going Yes and No at 4.00. That suggests to me that they think its at least a reasonable chance that both teams could score and so I'll go for that and the favourites to win this.
13:30 Everton v Nottm Forest
Everton & Yes (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
50 WIN
@4.00

Most pundits are picking Everton to win this to nil but I think Nottingham have sufficient fore up front to trouble them on occasion and perhaps get a consolation goal in the net. BTTS for me then.

Almaz Aayana at 32 is a former Olypic medalist and two time world champion. A 5,000m and 10,000m specialist she has stepped up to the marathon with a 2.16 besdt and on the tricky London course that could put her in with a chance of upsetting.

Kardia is a promising Kingsman filly who has been patiently handled to date. Given time to strengthen, handles this type of footing and is fresh-up, a condition she has rced in twice previsously for a win and a solid second. Honest as the day is long and should be stronger this time in.
17:30 Union Berlin v Bayern Munich
Draw
50 WIN
@4.75
Lose
-50
This is an insurance bet to cover my other bets. Munich should win but they may save something in the tank here (either in terms of energy or resting key players perhaps) and against a talented home side they won't want to underestimate their ability to press forward and perhaps get a good result with a draw.
Bayern Munich & Yes (Result + BTTS)

They're away from home but this top and very polished side should be too strng for the home side. Bayarn may rest some key players with the big European internationals coming up and this could pace the way for Berlin to score.
Bayern Munich #2-0
50 WIN
@8.50

-50
Bayern Munich have th form on the board to win this away from home against Union Berlin. Their strikers should find some holes in the defence and I think they can put two unanswered goals in the net here.

Racing Breaks Ryder's form tailed off in it's last preparation but he won four on the trot at the start of that campaign and the trainer wisely elected to spell him. He races well fresh (won first-up off a similar 175 day break) and some rain on the day might help his prospects for an upset.

Brentford are not a bad side on their day and capable of upsetting the best of them on occasion in the past. They're away from home here but I can see them spoiling the party at Luton Town.

Burnley & Yes (Result + BTTS)

Burnley have slumped since Chris Wood left but they are due to come right and Sheffield Wednesday could provide the impetus for them to get back into form again while away from home.
