Re: Snooker: World Championships - Final Qualifying Round 10-12 March I'll take 2 for Sunday. 5pts M.Holt to beat D.Dale 17/20 Sportingbet Michael Holt came through a tough, very high quality match against Mark Davis in the last round and he should be full of confidence to beat a Dominic Dale who has struggled all season really. Dale, by his own admission, has failed to balance matches with practice since he moved to Vienna before the season started. Michael Holt has played fairly well in these qualifiers all season. He's hit 10 centuries in all this season so he's been scoring well. Last year I'd have fancied the Welshman but Holt has upped his game and I think he'll make it through to the showpiece by winning this one. 3pts M.Gould to beat M.Stevens 21/10 Boylesports Martin Gould has hit the scene with a bang this season. He's made it through to the main stages of a couple of events and in the recent Welsh Open, he capitalised on that by beating the great Stephen Hendry before losing to eventual runner-up Joe Swail. Matthew Stevens has had a better season, the highlight of which was his run to the final of the Bahrain Championship and he'll probably score the better of these two. Both players have a winning frame record over the season so they should both be fairly confident but the pressure is right on Stevens here, especially with him having to win to have a chance of making the top 16 next season. Gould came through a couple of matches in earlier rounds of this and I think he's a decent value bet to see off the Welshman.
