Lay bets are an offering unique to Betfair in Australia where punters can bet AGAINST a particular outcome.

THOROUGHBREDS

Gosford: Race 5; #10 Eraantyva 

Taking a small play against ERAANTYVA here based on his short price. He was well supported on debut and has been again here but the risk I feel is his race map. He found himself out the back on debut and thinking if that happens again here he may be in an awkward position late. Just thought if that was the case, the short price was worth taking a risk against.

Pakenham: Race 3; #1 Boga Legend 

The run of Boga Legend first-up at Warrnambool looked good at the time but as the day wore on, it was evident that he was flattered by the pattern, pinching inside runs before peeling off and making his run in the straight. Drawn the inside gate, he will be in a world of trouble if he's tardy away again.

GREYHOUNDS

Dapto: Race 6; #6 Flyin' Ethics 

Taking on the 6 here. There's a fair bit of pace underneath him tonight and he may struggle to get into the race. Looks too short in the market and happy to risk

Dapto: Race 8; #7 Estelle Soldier 

The 7 won last week at huge odds. Led all the way and went very well. Tonight though we've been given incredibly short odds and we've got to take her on. Can win again but way too short
