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

THOROUGHBREDS

Geelong: Race 3; #3 Hot Too Go  Down Arrow

Hot Too Go has always had a strong SP profile and that keeps him hard in the market here. He has jumped out as though he has returned even more dour this preparation, I have him rated more than double his early price.

GREYHOUNDS

Geelong: Race 10; #6 Hotel Whiskey One Down Arrow

Hotel Whisky One may get posted wide here if Maximum Jasmine pings the lids. The extra metres he has to cover could prove costly and may allow Tarawi Therese to get a more economical run and she has been airborne at Healesville her last two starts.

HARNESS

Newcastle: Race 4; #5 Fire Fox Down Arrow 

Plenty of early speed likely here and happy to be against Fire Fox. Think he will have to do a fair bit of work early and there is good depth here.
