Russian Open

Outright plays (total stake per play: 1.5pts)

Markus Brier to win 28/1 e.w. @ Bet365
With only a couple of bookmakers quoting this event and a very limited field I can't really get too excited. Having said this Brier is a high quality player and has shown signs of good form this year. With a good performance here last year I feel he should certainly be one of the players to beat this week.

Jarrod Moseley to win 33/1 e.w. @ Stan James and Bet 365
After a slow strat to the season whilst making a few swing changes Moseley has just started to show some form and but for slightly week final rounds in the last two weeks would have been threatening top 10 on both occasions. He has the ability to win, as he has proven by winning several times and that should be a key attribute to possess this week.

Benn Barham to win 50/1 e.w. @ Stan James and Bet 365

Another proven winner (Challenge Tour) with some good course form (holds the low record for 54 holes at -19.) Barham has been playing well this season and has already had one victory along with 4 other top 10s on the Challenge Tour (5 if you include the T10th at the Thomas Bjorn Open.) With his added confidence I think Barham should give a good account of himself against a limited field.
