Lay bets are an offering unique to Betfair in Australia where punters can bet AGAINST a particular outcome.
THOROUGHBREDS
Penola: Race 7; #3 Ofcourse I Will 
Ofcourse I Will has put in a couple of better efforts of late. Just worried where he gets to with this sticky barrier (16) and looks a touch of unders because of that.
Newcastle: Race 3; #1 Parabellum
The jockey, stable and previous starting prices should keep this horse short enough in this market, I am happy to risk on the back of what I thought were some very average trials leading into this.
Pakenham: Race 2; #1 Admiral's Daughter
Justaboom should win, if she doesn't, I'd take all three of Scopri, Bubbling and Outcaster to beat home Admiral's Daughter.
In what is a strong maiden race, I have to be against Jakivy at the current price. The previous form is good however jockey and trainer are very much out of form – striking at just 4% and 2% of their last 50 rides and runners respectively.
HARNESS
Bendigo: Race 2; #10 Classically Smooth
Classically Smooth is handy enough when conditions suit, but I don't think he has the tactical versatility to overcome this horror barrier/map. Looks rough for the Smooth tonight & he's a risk here.
