Betfair Hub: Expert Racing Tips - 12th July 2025

Best lay bets in Australia for Saturday, July 12 brought to you by expert form analysts from the Betfair Hub.


Lay bets are an offering unique to Betfair in Australia where punters can bet AGAINST a particular outcome.

THOROUGHBREDS

Doomben: Race 4; #10 Merchant Flyer Down Arrow

Has an excellent record at the distance but has just the one win in four attempts at Doomben. The barrier concerns me considering the horses usual pattern of getting back and I am doubtful he will be able to get past Tuff Tu Mus if giving him a start.

Doomben: Race 9; #1 Mister Bianco Down Arrow

He seems far too short in the market given the set up this afternoon. He was set to start favourite last Saturday in a 1600m contest, but they scratched due to no suitable rider replacement, and now he stays at 1350m and is conceding up to 9kg to his clear dangers. He has to get out late.

Caulfield: Race 9; #5 Aztec State Down Arrow

The market nailed Aztec State first-up, he was very well supported and produced a performance that was somewhere near his peak off 357-days. He now only goes up 100m second-up and will need the track to play running on from gate 15.

HARNESS

Albion Park: Race 5; #3 Aldebaran Acrux Down Arrow

Aldebaran Acrux gets the services of James "The Lovebug" Herbertson, a man on tear in season 2025 – but I just rate Aldebaran Acrux a level below the best trotters here.
