10-1; +1.33pts Pre-tournament plays: LAY 20pts liability James Morrison 46 6th Nacho Elvira 44 mc David Horsey 120 56th Ashun Wu 140 mc Morrison recorded his best finish in South Africa last week (4th), but he has had no success on this course - he was 4-over-par when missing the cut in his only previous visit in 2015 - so I would expect higher odds with this course form Elvira doesn't have any previous course form at Pretora so that makes these odds rather short for a player whose best finish in South Africa in 25th Four missed cuts in five starts in 2017 makes Horsey an easy player to oppose, so it is surprising to see him priced so low given that form It's win or bust with Wu - in 43 European Tour starts, he has won twice but recorded no other top-10 finish. With just one previous start in South Africa and no course history at Pretoria, 'bust' looks a safe bet with Wu this week Pre-rd3 plays: LAY 20pts liability Soo-Min Lee 70 29th Graeme Storm 130 22nd Richie Ramsay 150 12th Chris Paisley 160 79th Darren Fichardt 180 37th Pre-rd4 plays: BACK 1pt Oliver Fisher 42 18th It may be a couple of years since he has been in this position, but Fisher has won on the European Tour previously (2011 Czech Open) so has the experience to be able to maintain the momentum after his 3rd round 62. In 6th place and only three shots off the lead, this odds look a little large when Aiken and Morrison are available at less than half these odds but are in the same position on the leaderboard LAY 20pts liability Zander Lombard 70 22nd Lombard is a shot further back, but he is a player who has missed all four cuts in 2017 so seems a very unlikely player to make a challenge tomorrow
