Outright plays (2pts):
Bruce Fleisher to win 14/1 e.w. @ SkyBet
Last year was a frustrating one for Fleisher. After he won the Verizon Classic stole the Verizon Classic from Hale Irwin in dramatic style in February, he would finish 2nd three times, but would not win again. That has been corrected with two wins in ten starts this season and just four finishes outside the top-10. On a course on which he has a good record - 7th and 2nd in the last two years - another top-10 looks highly probable and he has had some useful practise in beating this field already this season.
Morris Hatalsky to win 28/1 e.w. @ Stan James
Not much wrong with Hatalsky's form either. Two top-15 finishes in two starts is encouraging enough and with finishes of 5th and 3rd in his last two events, I would have expected him to be available at much shorter odds, particularly as he is a multiple winner on this Tour.
Keith Fergus to win 66/1 e.w. @ Stan James and Paddy Power
No course form for rookie Fergus who will be playing in only his 5th Champions Tour event. But with one top-4 finish already against a very storng field for the Toshiba Senior Classic, these do look very generous odds compared to the main players. I'll take the value here with so many others no more than 10/1.
