Best lay bets in Australia for Friday, August 16 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
Ballarat: Race 4; #4 Kensai Green
Kensal Green started $21 and $8.50 in two starts at her first preparation and has now had 440-days off and resumes a five-year-old. She appears limited and though the jumpouts were decent enough, I must oppose at the price.
HARNESS
Mildura: Race 5; #3 Talk Is Cheap
Think Talk Is Cheap is likely to get popular and start unders. First up off a break with just one trial, it does look a touch vulnerable so if it shortens like I think then at the price, worth a small lay bet.
GREYHOUNDS
Field Day makes his Victorian debut here but this is a tough race to kick off this campaign with. Gunai Bold and Boracay Storm know every grain of sand over this circuit and are both suited by the smaller field. If either of these dogs can lead Field Day is going to need to explode mid race to be any chance of running over the top of them.
Richmond: Race 5; #3 Xena Giblet
5 and 6 should fight this out and I think 3 gets crossed early. Happy to take her on as long as she doesn't get too far out in the market.
