World Matchplay

[Fader]

Gets started tonight and despite MVG winning 2 of the summer series events and Wright winning one of the others I think it's quite an open one. Looking at the top half it's quite a high quality one with the likely Anderson vs MVG meet up and that's perhaps why we find such big odds on the likes of Ratajski and Michael Smith. I'm going to back both of these guys with the hope the winner beats the winner so to speak. I think De Sousa could cause Wright issues in the bottom half and the guys I like there are White (Aspinall not in the best of form) and I'll give Gurney one more chance. 

No doubt Durrant will turn up for this event after I backed him in the Summer Series but I've ran out of patience with him.

Matches tonight :

S.Whitlock Vs R.Joyce
K.Ratajski Vs J.Wattimena
J.Wade Vs K.Brown
MVG Vs B.Dolan
G.Anderson Vs J.Pipe

I expect Anderson and MVG to sail through. Wade should beat Brown but the other 2 could be closer events. Whitlock vs Joyce could be interesting but I would fancy Whitlock in that. Ratajski gets the nod against Wattimena

1.5pts MVG and Anderson to both win their match trebles 5/1 betfair
