Current Form Picks

Andy Sullivan @ 30/131.00

Englishman Sullivan was tied for third at the Hero Indian Open last time out and ninth the week before at the Hainan Classic. Back in January, he was a runner-up at the Dubai Desert Classic, so it is fair to say that he is knocking on the door for a title. 

MJ Daffue @ 66/167.00

The South African, who plays most of his golf on the Korn Ferry Tour, arrives here finishing tied for third at the Hero Indian Open at the end of last month. Prior to that, he won the DP World PGTI Open in India. This week, he's up against a stronger calibre player than usual, but he's playing well and is a big price.


Course Form Picks

Eugenio Chacarra @ 20/121.00

This doesn't look a bad price for a Spanish player who followed up his runner-up spot at the Hero Indian Open with another top 10 finish at his next event. Add to that the fact that he was fourth here last year and the case for Chacarra is compelling.

Ashun Wu @ 66/167.00

This week's defending champion has been in wayward form of late but, at 40-years-old he has the maturity not to panic, and will be keen to put in a strong performance here again. He will also have the crowd behind him.
