Best lay bets in Australia for Friday, March 22 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

Scone: Race 3; #3 Territory Day 

LAY: 3. Territory Day (WIN) for 0.5 unit(s) (Rated at: $7)

On debut with some key gear changes made, I am happy to risk this runner jumping from the widest gate on debut over 1000m is a big ask and I feel he will have to much of a task to overcome this.

HARNESS

Ballarat: Race 4; #3 Kyvalley Misty 

LAY: 3. Kyvalley Misty (WIN) for 2.5 units (Rated at: $7.5) 

I know its from a good trotting stable and gets the champ Chris Alford to drive, however, it just hasn't shown me in its trials it warrants being in the market. Not the strongest race we will find but willing to be against this filly purely based on trials. 

GREYHOUNDS

Geelong: Race 10; #1 Georgie Bale 

LAY (WIN) #1 Georgie Bale for 1.5 units (Rated at: $3.00)

Georgie Bale isn't necessarily suited to the inside here. She needs some space early and then will rail nicely. But I can see her getting hassled at the wrong moments early in this race and I'm hoping On A Mission is the one that can cut her off at box rise.

Wentworth Park: Race 1; #1 Mount Parnis  

LAY: 1. Mount Parnis (WIN) for 2 unit(s) (Rated at: $8)

If odds allow we should be taking on the 1 here. Just can't see him troubling the two favs (boxes 7 and 8). He might get to a huge price and we can sit it out but hopefully he's single digits.
