Best lay bets in Australia for Thursday, March 7 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
As long as Knentii goes around in races I can bet on in Victoria, I will continue to lay him. Nothing against the horse or the stable, he is simply slow and is now 0/16, starting under $7 on nine of those 16 occasions.
Pakenham: Race 5; #1 Coral Empoeror 
Got out to 2100m last prep and althought raced consistently, based on this I feel the horse will need further then the 1400m today and should see improvement from the first up run, happy to risk at single figures against others I think are better suited at this trip.
Produced a strong overall figure last start however drawn wide in this over the sprint trip I have concerns that this horse has a tough map that will just be too much of an ask to overcome.
GREYHOUNDS
Sandown Park: Race 3; #6 I'm A Mustang
I'm A Mustang is one I tend to back when she draws inside and Lay when she draws wide and that's the case here. Shayna Bale and Bon Rose add to my Lay confidence as they could provide an annoyance factor to I'm A Mustang as she is trying to crash towards the fence.
Sandown Park: Race 5; #8 Stormy Bay
Even with a 29.19 PB over this track and trip, I'm going to have a small Lay Bet on Stormy Day, purely because he has Box 8. He is going to have to explode the lids to get across cleanly and the likes of Magic Muffin and Early Boy are going to be extremely tough to navigate early as they can come out jet propelled.
HARNESS
Cranbourne: Race 3; #4 Against The Bridle
This guy took 15 runs to get it all right and win last start prior to a spell, he had been unplaced all 14 runs before that. Resumes here off no trial you just have to risk him tonight, no doubt he has ability but he is a very risky trotter and i would be concerned backing him fresh.
