72-hole plays (1pt):

Marcus Fraser to beat Darren Fichardt -110 @ Ladbrokes
It is easy to oppose Fichardt who, apart from a 10th place finish in the European Masters, has missed six of his last eight cuts. Over the same period, Fraser has missed just one cut and has finished ahead of Fichardt every time except at Crans-sur-Sierre. Unless last year's weather returns to ruin this event, this should be straightforward.

Marcus Fraser to beat Nick Dougherty -120 @ Centrebet
Dougherty's form has improved recently even though he did miss the cut last week, but he is still not as competitive as Fraser who holds a 14-7-0 h2h lead over him in 2004. Will take these odds until there is more proof that 'Little Nick' is back.

Marcus Fraser to beat Christopher Hanell -114 @ Expekt
Hanell hasn't made a cut for two months, so no surprise that Fraser has dominated this matchup during that time. While Hanell does have the advantage of playing last year and finishing 56th, he is not playing well enough to compete at the moment and Fraser should only need to survive until the weekend to win this match.

Stephen Scahill to beat Andrew Oldcorn -116 @ Pinnacle
Oldcorn is another playing seriously struggling for form. His best finish in the last two months has been 71st in the BMW International Open and after withdrawing following an opening 77 last year, he looks set to struggle once again. Scahill has secured a few top-10 finishes recently and should extend his run to six of seven events in which he has finished ahead of the former Volvo PGA Champion.
