So the 'extra day' and one last chance to get back in the black to make it 3 'up' months in a row.

12.17 Leonard to win 3-ball 6/4 (LOST -5.45 - As predicted Byrd fell away early and it was nip and tuck for the other two until Leonard missed the green at the par 3 17th and was forced to take a drop, meaning he fell tow shots behind)
Justin Leonard has been in good form this season, highlighted by his 4th place in the World Matchplay last week. A double bogey at the 6th pegged him back to -1, but I expect him to move closer to the top of the leaderboard today, and with Jon Byrd shooting +6 yesterday this is virtually a two-horse race. So go with the class runner and take Leonard.

4.30 Hart to win 3-ball 15/8 (WON -3.57 - Hart played very well in both 2nd and 3rd rounds before a horrible +4 in the final round saw him slip to 15th=, when a par round would have seen him share 3rd place. He won on Friday with an excellent 66, pipping Mallinger by one shot and Kim by 3)
Anthony Kim was favourite for this group yesterday but a bogey at the first and a finish of double bogey, birdie, bogey, birdie, showed he isn't too comfortable or confident around here. Dudley Hart tied with John Mallinger yesterday on -2 but Mallinger weakened with two bogeys in the last four holes. Hart should still be confident from his 3rd place in the AT&T earlier this month, so 15/8 seems a decent shout.

7.50 Kempton Trimaran 5/2 (WON -1.07 - Congrats if you waited and took the 3/1 SP. Went on readily down the home straight and I think this fillie has more to come)
This Sheikh Mohammed fillie showed great promise when second by just 1 3/4 lengths a couple of weeks ago, despite running very green. Back over same course and distance tonight and I expect him to step up a place.



8pm Wasps to beat Northampton 4/5 (N/R - Match potponed)
The last time we saw a Wasps side with their 6 Nations stars they put in a tremendous away performance to come from 20-13 down to outscore Bath 29-14 in the second half and come away with the points. Newcastle meanwhile were relying on Johnny's boot to edge past Saracens by two points. With that Bath victory still in their minds and added to by the surge of adrenalin from Paris last week in 6 of their 15, rather than just the 4 of Newcastle, I think they should be favoured tonight. And with 8/13 and 4/7 being offered around, 4/5 with Sportingbet, Stan James or Betdirect should not be sniffed at.
