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

THOROUGHBREDS

Newcastle: Race 4; #4 Hunter Bred 

Average staying race where I am happy to risk the early fave Hunter Bred here due to the stables poor recent form with just the one winner their last fifty runners.

Newcastle: Race 7; #3 Alliteration 

This race has two market leaders who head the betting, both runners making their debut here. While at the trials ALLITERATION has looked quite good, the fact that she may have to do it tough from the widest barrier is the slight concern here in this race. The risk is that she gets caught wide in a race that may be going at a quick tempo. Happy to have a tiny play against here.

GREYHOUNDS

Wentworth Park: Race 6; #1 Spring Miles 

1 looks too short in this race. 4 will be hard to beat and 1 should be too far back in the run. Risking. 

Wentworth Park: Race 8; #7 Pronouns 

A good gutsy win last start but she may have her work cut out getting across tonight and looks too short. Risking box 7

Sandown Park: Race 1; #8 Shima Blush 

Shima Blush greatly improved from start one to start two at The Meadows but now in a new habitat and the dreaded outside draw it looks a big ask against some more experienced rivals.
