Eurovision Song Contest Semi Final |
Russia |
In the past 2 years it has paid to look just down the polls of best songs to find the semi final winner - last year we got it right with Romania at 25/1 - this year Russia are regularly in 3rd - 5th place and are our selection |

Make sure you back David and not Danny his older brother!The younger sibling makes his debut on the Champions tour and is worth a small bet on his debut as he has warmed up well with a top 10 on the Nationwide Tour and a 30th on the PGA at Tucson |

Quite a talented youngster who has made his last 5 cuts including a 7th place in Madeira.He was 3rd at San Roque in the Q school and last year after a poor 1st round played some very solid golf to finish 21st. |

Klauk has excellent course form with 3 top 8's from 4 starts.Interestingly his one Nationwide victory came on a course he was 2nd the previous year.He was 9th a few weeks ago on a course he has had a poor record on in the past and there is certainly a bit of value at these odds |

Clearly there is some value in a top 5 finish price |

Gay has been in solid form this season - he usually misses 50% of his cuts but this season only 2 from 11.
A best of the season 9th place in his last start he will come here in confident mood on a course where in 01 he was 5th and in 03 was 3rd heading into the final round. |

Hopefully Hensby can continue the current Aussie domination of world golf.Whilst he has been in the doldrums the last 3 rounds he played at the Masters were very good indeed and in a weak field a player of his quality should not be this price |

We tipped him for the Algarve a few weeks back when 12th - but he was ill for the first few rounds and came back well with a pair of 68's at the weekend.
He loves this part of the world - 01 Spanish Amateur Champ and he won his first Challenge tour event in Portugal - oh and he won the Q school in November here! |

He will certainly not be at a disadvantage re lack of course form as they are using a new course at the venue. |

This is a bet that places faith in what an athlete is saying.If he is fit then the man who has twice broken the world record (including when he won here in 2002) then he would be vying for favouritism.Dogged by injury he reckons he is now the fittest he has been since 2002 - we hope he is telling the truth and we will see the true colours of one of the greatest marathon runners of modern times. |

One last throw of the dice for us and this talented player.We tipped him last year for this in his home state but it came just after his poor 72nd hole experience at Bellsouth.we will forgive him his last 2 missed cuts both at new venues as he seems to need a bit of course experience. |

He played well here on his debut last year and the course should be more up his street than those he has played of late |
