Hobart have started the season in good form and have lost just once so far. They play a Renegades side that has not been as successful. Home field should see Hobart win again.

The way that Final Demand took to chases on its chase debut last time out marks the horse as one to follow over those obstacles. This Grade 1 novice hurdle winner gets the same conditions as last time and looks the clear pick of its stable's other runners in the race.
13:30 India W vs Sri Lanka W 4th T20 Match
S Mandhana
Man Of The Match
50 WIN
@6.50
Win
275
If Mandhana gets a big score in this match, she will be a favorite to win the Player of the Match award. She has underperformed so far but is too classy to write off, especially against such a weak bowling attack.
S Mandhana (India W)
Top Team1 Batsman
50 WIN
@3.60
Win

Mandhana has failed with the bat in her last three innings against a side that has posed little problem for her opening partner. She is surely due a big score, as she is one of the best female batsmen in the world. I will keep the faith and tip her to top score in this match.

Man Of Vision comes from an in-form yard and has the best form on offer in this race. It ran well in two Class 4 novice races and now takes a drop in class, trip, and distance for this run. The stable does well at the track and had a winner with a similar profile just a few days ago.

@2.10

-50
Paarl Royals lost out in the semis of the 20x20 tournament in a closely run game. They were ranked 2 in that event and the Sunrisers 3. That shows me two sides that were in good form, and this game should be a close one. I will take the Royals just because of the home-field advantage.

Plaisier was in great form when he dumped out Gerwyn Price in his last match. He looks a good bet here against a much lesser-ranked player in Ratajski. He won that last match 3-0 and will be buoyed by that win.

Plaisier with a 1.5 set start looks a good thing to me. He played some excellent darts in his defeat of one of the top seeds in the last round. If he plays anywhere near that form in this match, he will win.

I have gone for an over sets score just because Plaisier does not go for that long in many of his matches and will find it hard to keep his game at a good level for that long. He played great darts in his last win, but this longer test will demand more of him.

I expect Plaisier to build up a good lead in this match before fading a little in the latter parts. He should have done enough by set 3 to hold out for the win despite conceding a set.

Joburg Super Kings

Joburg were ranked 4 for the 20x20 series above Pretoria and advanced further in that event than Pretoria. Both teams' form is very mixed, but Joburg did beat Pretoria easily when they last met. A narrow vote for the away side.

It is oh so hard to see England getting a win in this match after their poor performances in their first three Tests. Their top order has failed to set a good base for the rest of the team. Even though the lower order has been good, they have had to chase the game in each Test. Australia's bowling attack is deep and varied, while England have only one recognised spinner.

The weather in Melbourne can be a bit dodgy to predict, but the forecast right now is for good weather. I will hedge on that, though, just in case there are enough stoppages to save England from another defeat.

Mandhana has got herself in the last two innings but failed to push on for a big score. She is sure to open and is too good a player to be expected to get out relatively early three times in a row. I will take her to top score for her side.

Charisma Cat is a Listed bumper winner that ran very well on its hurdle debut in a Listed novice hurdle. It sets the bar pretty high for its rivals to pass in this lesser race. The horses it faces today have shown some promise but nowhere near as much as my selection.

Hobart saw off the Renegades in short order and now top the table. With the Scorchers losing to a Brisbane side that lost to the Renegades, collateral form says that Hobart will win this match.

Wright is still good enough to make a game of it against a relatively inexperienced Merk, who has not played in such a charged atmosphere. Merk had a high checkout success in the last round, and if he can do that again he should have a chance to win.

India women won the last game between the two sides very easily. The Sri Lankans lacked ambition in going for a big score and preferred to play safe. That will not do against a classy Indian side.

Mandhana started her last innings well enough, and she looked as though she would score big before unexpectedly losing her wicket. She is better than that, and she should make amends against a mediocre Sri Lankan attack.

A fine win for the Strikers in their opener with a win over multiple past champions, the Sixers. That is a great start for the side, and they are my fancy to go 2 for 2. The Stars also won when edging out the Heat, but are now away from home.

Price's game has hit another level recently as he tries to get to grips with Humphries and Littler. He is the third-best player in the world right now and is just a whisker off beating the big two. He should have little trouble beating Plaisier in this match if he is in his usual mood.

Under 3.5 sets seems a tall order for Price, but the way his game has stepped up again from what was already a good level makes me think he can take the match 3-0. He ran Luke Littler close in a recent event and not many can do that.

If Villa could beat Arsenal, then they should have the beating of a Manchester United side that are still struggling for consistency. United have conceded 26 goals so far and seven over their last four games. That is well above Villa's concession rate, while they score at a similar rate.

Both these low-scoring sides scored 2 last week, with Mainz drawing at Bayern Munich and St. Pauli winning 2-1 against second-bottom Heidenheim. Those results were a blip, in my opinion, and I expect business as usual in this match, with a slog in midfield and a low-scoring game.

Sea Presenting ran well enough for 2nd place on its first run after a wind operation. Horses usually come on again for their second run, so I will have to go with the horse to win this race. It sets the mark off that last run.

England have been comprehensively beaten in the first two Tests, and their lack of a spin option in this match makes a third loss very likely in my opinion. Australia's batsmen have all chipped in right down the order, and England have not been able to make the same claim. If Root and Crawley do not get a score, this match could be over inside four days.

Slight cracks seem to be appearing in Arsenal's previously good form. They lost to Villa and were very lucky to beat a Wolves side that had not won a game. They will face a sterner test at an Everton side that has won 3 of their last 5 games and has home advantage. Everton play a similar way to Wolves but are far more dangerous in front of goal.
Under 2.50
Total Goals
Arsenal were toothless against Wolves last week, and Everton will be just as tough to break down. With Everton in good form and at home, they should be able to keep Arsenal at bay for long periods. In that case, an under goals scoreline is very possible.
17:30 Tottenham v Liverpool
Draw
Big problems right now for Spurs, with just 1 win from their last 5 games and a hammering at Forest last week. They will need to be better than that in this match but may be able to get a draw off the back of their ability to score goals. A 1 in this match may get them a draw, as Liverpool have very similar stats.
15:00 Bournemouth v Burnley
Burnley

@7.00

With Bournemouth in just average form there may be a chance for Burnley to get an unlikely win . Neither side have won any of their last 5 games and the last time Bournemouth played a defensively minded side they lost at home to Everton . Take off the 4 goals that Bournemouth scored in their 4 -4 draw at Man United and both sides only average around 1 goal per game .

Neither side are in great form, and I expect a low-scoring game with neither side getting on the scoresheet. Bournemouth are great on the break but struggle to break down a well-marshalled defence. Burnley are dangerous on the break but will probably have to defend for long periods.
15:00 Brighton v Sunderland
Sunderland

@5.50

The layers are always underestimating Sunderland this season. They have one of the best defenses in the division and are still above Brighton, as I tip. They may be able to get the win if they get the first goal. Brighton score slightly more and concede slightly more than Sunderland.

Half Time / Full Time
50 WIN
@6.50

The sensible option here is the draw. Sunderland kept a previously high-scoring Newcastle goal less in their last win and have one of the best defenses in the division. It will take a better effort from Brighton than they have been showing to break them down.
15:00 Man City v West Ham
Man City
The current form of both sides points to a win for Man City. City have won 4 of their last 5 games in the Premiership and scored 14 goals over those 5. West Ham have not won in 5 games, and their goal-a-game average will not be good enough to win this game if City add to West Ham's 2 goals per game conceded.
15:00 Wolverhampton v Brentford
Brentford
50 WIN
@2.10
Win
55
Wolves showed a lot more fight last week against Arsenal, but their usual problem with scoring goals still haunts them. They have only scored 9 all season and only 2 over their last 5 games. Brentford are not in the best form, but they have scored double Wolves' tally and have conceded 10 goals fewer.
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
A much better effort from Wolves last week. If they carry that through to this match, then we could see a rare goal from the home side. That goal, if it comes, would not be enough for a win, as the Wolves defense has conceded 2 per game on average.
