FINAL RESULT: 1-2; +0.00pts
Han 2nd
Jang 14th
Redman 27th
Great effort by Han, but she couldn't quite catch Ochoa down the final
straight. Could have been quite different if she hadn't dropped four shots
around the turn to fall behind Ochoa.
Outright plays (total stake per play: 1pt)
Hee-Won Han to win 20/1 e.w. @
BetInternet
Have struggled to find much value in this week's odds, but there should be some
at 20/1 for Han. Not only does she come into this event on the back of three
consecutive top-5 finishes, but she also has an exceptional record here. In five
attempts, she has recorded a win (2003) and a runners-up finish (2002) as well
as strong performances in the each of the last two years. With Annika in
relatively poor form and having skipped this event for three years and Ochoa
never having this course previously, these must be the value odds this week.
Jeong Jang to finish in the top-five 6/1 @
Centrebet
With three top-10 finishes in her last four starts, Jang is clearly getting back
to her former ultra-consistent self. In the last 12 months, she has finished in
the top-10 in two-thirds of her starts and in the top-5 in over one-third of
those 26 starts. That is amazing consistency and given that one of those strong
performances was a runners-up finish in this event last year, she warrants
attention at these odds. The 25/1 was tempting, but with only one win (although
ironically a wire-to-wire win) in the last year, there should be better value in
the place-only odds.
Michele Redman to finish in the top-five 10/1 @
BetFred
Did consider Mi Hyun Kim (28/1), but there should be better value in this course
specialist. Redman has played here in each of the last 12 years and hasn't
missed the cut. In those 12 years, she has won once (1997) and finished in the
top-ten 50 percent of the time, including four of the last five years. So with
her current form solid - four top-20 finishes in her last six starts - she
should once again continue her impressive record at Wykagyl. |
