@9.00
Lose
-50
La Flute had been running over in France for Francis Henri Graffard and last month moved to the RP Cody yard and impressed with a good run coming home fifth in a Fairyhouse Maiden Fillies. The drop from seven furlongs to six should suit and I fancy she won’t be too far away in the last tonight around Dundalk.
20:00 Agen v Brive
Agen
To Win
75 WIN
@1.57
Open

Agen have been pretty dominant at home this season with three wins from three. They beat Beziers 21-10 three weeks ago and with Brive losing two in three away I fancy Agen will get the win to leapfrog them in the Pro D2 Standings.
Agen -6.50
Handicap
50 WIN
@2.05
Open

Brive have lost two of their last three league matches, and I fancy they will struggle tonight away to Agen. The hosts have won four in a row at home and have a 100 percent record this season at the Stade Armandie. I am siding with another big performance in front of their own fans against Brive.

Sapphos Word
Daily Racing
54 WIN
@2.10

-54
Irish Points winner in March, and the change in stable to Jamie Snowden, whose yard is in good form of late, catches the eye. There has been plenty of support for Sapphos Wood. I fancy the filly strikes in the bumper over two miles.

Benavente
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@SP
Lose
-50
A winner last month over a mile and furlongs in a handicap at Dundalk. I fancy after finishing fourth here three weeks ago that Benavente will be better for that run. I am siding with the Harry Redknapp-owned horse taking the opener.

Dylan Emery to win 4-2
Frame Betting

The last four matches for the American have gone to a deciding set, but he has only won one of them, and that was a third set retirement in the last round. Three defeats in four for Kovacevic, and I fancy he gets out-battled by Sonego to go down in three sets.

Sijia Wei
Win Match
50 WIN
@3.40
Lose
-50
The home favorite beat Katarina Zavatska in straight sets, and she looks to be playing well in Jinan. Bondar had lost a couple in her last three, and when put under pressure, can fold. I am siding with Wei getting the win this morning.

Sloane Stephens
Win Match
100 WIN
@1.36

Sahaja Yamalapalli has lost four of her last five matches, and I fancy if Sloane Stephens turns up, she will cruise through this match in straight sets. The American hasn't played in a month, and coming in fresh, I am siding with a comfortable win for the Yank.

Dirk van Duijvenbode
50 WIN
@41.00
Lose
-50
The Dutchman reached the quarter finals of the World Grand Prix and played well to beat both Van Gerwen and Gurney who were former winners. Dirk Van Duijvenbode has reached the last sixteen or better in the Players Championship several times since May time and I fancy with a little bit of momentum he could be a tough man to beat this afternoon in Wigan.
Krzysztof Ratajski
29 EW
@81.00
Lose
-58
The Pole beat Martin Schindler at the World Grand Prix, and he has been a steady floor player this year. With a lot of the big names going deep in the Grand Prix, I fancy Krzysztof Ratajski can fly under the radar today and plot his way to the final at a big each-way price.

-50
Nugroho is a qualifier this week in Jinan, and she has gone off the boil since a good run of form in May. Bai is a twenty-three-year-old with an aggressive style, and I fancy with a home crowd behind her, she will beat the Indonesian in a tight contest.

Xinyu Gao
Win Match
65 WIN
@1.70

04:00 Arina Rodionova vs Erika Andreeva
Erika Andreeva
Win Match
65 WIN
@1.60
Lose
-65
The Australian has been out of form the last month with four straight defeats, and I fancy the returning Erika Andreeva can get the better of Rodionova. She will have a point to prove and a spring in her step. The Russian looks the bet in this Jinan opener.
04:00 Elise Mertens vs Cristina Bucsa
Elise Mertens
Win Match
90 WIN

Shaun Murphy

@13.00
Win
125
The Magician won the British Open in Brentwood a fortnight ago and he beat Selby, Robertson and Trump en route. Working with Peter Ebdon has really helped the Triple Crown winner and I fancy Shaun Murphy will be a tough man to beat this week and he goes all the way to the final.

The World Champion will feel he owes his home fans a performance after winning at The Crucible. I fancy it will come this week at the Xi’an Grand Prix. Zhao Xintong looks to be in a nice section of the draw, and I am siding with the left-hander building momentum this week.

Toulouse have won six in a row at home and I fancy they will be too good for Bordeaux tonight in the Top 14. Bordeaux have lost four in a row on the road and I am siding with Stade Toulousain having too much at home.
Bordeaux 18.50

Bordeaux have lost four in a row away, but only once was the defeat by twenty or more points. Toulouse won by six after extra time in June's final last season, and Bordeaux won on their last visit last September. I fancy with the Bègles winning three of the last four head-to-head that there won't be more than nineteen points between them tonight.

Gerwyn Price

The Iceman has really performed in the World Grand Prix since 2020, and I fancy he can knock a few big names out en route to another final. The Welshman won the title here in 2020, beating Dirk Van Duijvenbode in the final, and he has since been a beaten finalist twice along with reaching the semi-final. I am siding with Gerwyn Price settling in nicely in Leicester, and the former winner is my favorite this week in Leicester to lift the World Grand Prix trophy again.

The Machine reached the final of the World Matchplay and UK Open earlier this year, and I fancy the left-hander is a sleeper pick this week in Leicester. Wade finds himself in a quarter of the draw he will back himself to get out of, and he was a quarter-finalist here twelve months ago. The Englishman won this title in 2007 and 2010. Winner, I am siding with a fourth World Grand Prix final for James Wade.

Alejandro Del Rey won the Ras Al Khaimah Championship earlier this year on the DP World Tour, and he registered a Top 15 in Singapore. 17th and 18th the last two years at Club de Campo, and I fancy Del Rey can contend in a big way this year.

The Norwegian is having a stellar year on the DP World Tour, and he is closing in on the world’s top fifty after another Top 5 finish at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship last week in Scotland. Since winning the Challenge Tour Grand Final last year, he has become a winner on the DP World Tour at the Soudal Open and registered nine Top 15 finishes. Seven of those were inside the Top 6 for each way money. I fancy Kristoffer Reitan is a better player now than he was here in 2019, and I am siding with a big week at Club de Campo.

Bayern have opened the new season in Germany with two wins and they have four home wins in five. Both head to head meetings this year with Brose were Bayern wins and I fancy they will be a couple of points too good again this afternoon in the BBL.

Bayern have opened the new season with two wins, and they beat Red Star in the Euro League at home. Brose have really tested Bayern in both meetings this year, with only a point and two points in it. I fancy this point spread looks a touch big, and there is less than thirteen points in it.

Tied 6th last week at the Sanderson Farms Championship, carding four rounds of 68 or better at the Country Club of Jackson. I fancy the South African will have another good week at the Baycurrent Classic. Six straight cuts made, including Top 20 finishes in the 3M Open and Genesis Scottish Open. I am siding with Christiaan Bezuidenhout, ticking a lot of boxes at Yokohama Country Club with his ball-striking capabilities. He can go well this week.
Emiliano Grillo

The Argentinian has back-to-back top ten finishes in this event back in 2022 and 2023. I fancy the change in venue won’t hurt Emiliano Grillo, who can certainly send it out there with his driver. Tied 4th two starts ago at the Procore Championship, Grillo was runner-up at the John Deere Classic in July. I am siding with the South American going low to challenge at this week’s Baycurrent Classic.
Tom Kim

Tied 11th last week at the Sanderson Farms Championship opening with rounds of 68-66-69 and the Korean’s game looks close to a big week. 25th in this event three years ago, Tom Kim is a multiple PGA Tour winner but also has wins in India, Korea and Singapore.

Tied 18th last week at the Sanderson Farms Championship was a sign of encouragement, especially the Saturday 64 to move him into contention heading into the final day. 19th at the Procore Championship the start before, and I fancy the American is starting to trend in the right direction again on the PGA Tour. Max Homa is a multiple winner on tour, and in 2023 he traveled to South Africa and won the Nedbank Golf Challenge. I am siding with this trip to Japan resulting in a big week at the Baycurrent Classic.
