Betfair Hub: Expert Racing Tips - 16th August 2025

Best lay bets in Australia for Saturday, 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

Rosehill: Race 4; #9 Amreekiyah Down Arrow

Looks a really strong BM78 that should likely prove to be a good form reference. Happy to take on AMREEKIYAH with the set up she has here today, she was handy when resuming, but needs to take a step up here and looks to get an awkward run against some handy types like PIPPIE BEACH & SACRED ROCKS who map for much stronger runs.

Caulfield: Race 9; #11 Revelare Down Arrow

Revelare is an obvious talent and has a really strong ratings profile for this but first-up from an inside gate, It's hard to fathom he could find a spot that is any better than four back the rails and in race filled with solid, race fit horses, he just appears way too short for mine.

HARNESS

Albion Park: Race 6; #7 Thetorque Majority Down Arrow

Don't think Thetorque Majority has the ability to overcome barrier 7 despite being a heat winner last week.

Melton: Race 3; #1 Forty Love Down Arrow

Handy type but would need to lift on last run in similar grade. Barrier could be challenge as quite a quick front line so looks a risk.
