Best lay bets in Australia for Thursday, May 9 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
Pakenham: Race 1; #4 Stepchild 
Early market has this race figured out and I am happy to risk this runner at single figures. Has just been plain since winning a maiden and the race-fit Roadcone looks hard to beat back to the home track after a solid Aus debut win. Patrick Payne is striking at 28% so I hope this keeps the runner relatively firm in the market.
GREYHOUNDS
Sandown: Race 2; #3 Cruising Debbie
Cruising Debbie has opened up very short in early markets. She won the Launching Pad so she has been there done that in high quality races here, is again a Restricted race as it's Ladies only. But this race has deceptive depth, anything could win this without surprising me and would rather barrack for 7 runners and get Cruising Debbie beaten, purely a pricing decision.
HARNESS
Shepparton: Race 1; #6 Our Mystery Bet
Started fav last week and had all the favours to win when they only got home the last 400 in 31 seconds. Cannot see the same fortunes this time in a race of good depth - have to take him on.
