Betfair Hub: Expert Racing Tips - 27th August 2025

Best lay bets in Australia for Wednesday, August 27 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

Randwick Kensington: Race 6; #5 Bodhi Boy Down Arrow

BODHI BOY did impress in his last start performance as a short price favourite, but will now need to take the step up in grade to this mid week metro company. While he has a strong record, this looks potentially the hardest race he has contested so far into his career and if there is pressure on speed, he will have to work hard in what looks unfavorable conditions

Sandown: Race 3; #6 Jennyanydots Down Arrow

Jennyanydots has been very well supported in early markets and does have great 1000m form but she usually makes it hard for herself getting back worse than midfield and despite having fitness on her side. Both Mckeyla and Lovelycut have more upside.

Doomben: Race 7; #7 Lucifer's Way Down Arrow

Comes into this after a 53-day break. The last start overall figure and closing sectionals were just average and from a tricky barrier in this I am happy to risk.

GREYHOUNDS

The Meadows: Race 5; #6 Motion Sensor Down Arrow

Motion Sensor seems to race better at Sandown Park than The Meadows. I am hoping Giacomo drives up underneath Motion Sensor and puts a ton of heat on and that should mean Motion Sensor gets swamped late.
