shelly ann fraser pryce

was the fastest qualifier in the heats at 10.80 and looked like she had more to give. Elaine Thompson is the only runner who has run as fast this season but didn't look in

form running 11.14. Ta lou ran 10.85 but looked like she was running hard. I don't like backing short prices but hills 4/5 looks too big. Barring a false start I can't see her losing.

Yeah Pryce does look a solid bet @waynecoyne - have to agree. Like you said, if the race is run without any mishaps, it's hers to lose.

Mens 1500m (semis tonight)

Cheruiyot is odds on for this but sometimes finals become tactical and this brings in the fast finishers.

Taofik Makhloufi won olympic gold in london in 2012, but has run a decent time this year and looked ok in the heats.

The 40/1 has now gone but at 20/1 with bet 365 i will try a small bet in the hope that it is a tactical race.

If this is so i would expect him to go for home from around 300m (assuming he gets through the semi tonight).
