The Dubai Classic returns to its long time venue, the 7,300 yards long, par 72 Emirates GC. The course is links style demanding accurate approach shots to its well guarded greens which can be exceptionally tricky when firm. Ability to play in the breeze can be useful here.

OUTRIGHT: Robert Karlsson 1pt Win and Place 18/1

After a considerable lay off last season due to an eye injury Karlsson came back even stronger recording a hugely impressive win in last week’s Qatar Masters. He is very much a player to note when in form as was shown during his purple patch in 2008 when he recorded four consecutive top four finishes in the summer followed up by back- to-back wins in the autumn in the Mercedes Benz and Dunhill Links events. So it will be no surprise if he challenges strongly again this week especially as he is a bit of a Dubai specialist with recent course form of 6T 05, 18T 06, 10T 07, 19T 08 and 4T 09.

OUTRIGHT: Louis Oosthuizen 1pt Win and Place 28/1

Last week’s pick Oosthuizen maintained his run of good recent form with a top fifteen finish at last week’s Qatar Masters so it may pay to stick with him this week as his recent course form reads 27T 04, 3T 08 and 7T 09 despite a closing round 74.

The 7,300 yards long, par 71 Riviera course, known as Hogan’s Alley, is one of the top courses on Tour. The combination of tight, tree-lined fairways bordered by generally thick Kikuyu rough with small, testy Poa Annua greens favours accurate, patient and experienced players. The course tends to favour left to right hitters. Local Californian players tend to go well here. Although this week’s field is fairly strong this event has produced more than its fair share of high priced shock winners.

OUTRIGHT: Charles Howell 1pt win or place 50/1

It may pay to take this value price on Howell this week. He has shown some decent form in recent outings with a notable top five in his opening event in Hawaii and has excellent course form of 6T 02, 2nd 03 and 1st 07 which suggests he is more than comfortable on this track

OUTRIGHT: Michael Sim 1pt win or place 55/1

Aussie Sim may have received more than his fair share of criticism for laying up on the 72nd hole last week when he had a chance of winning but it may pay to ignore that this week for a number of reasons. Sim has the perfect game for Riviera with his natural fade shot. Secondly Riviera demands a thinking, strategic type of game which also appears to play into his strengths. Finally Sim performed well last week on the poa annua greens he will face again this week. As a multiple winner on last year’s Nationwide Tour a win this week for Sim would be no real shock.
