Best lay bets in Australia for Friday, January 10 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
Looks a competitive maiden to kick off. Debutant GOLDANE has been good at trial level and heads the market here. While she looks a good type, she is coming up against handy types in the likes of GAMP & MAILATA. So while she could certainly win, the price looks quite short and around that even money, she feels a chance to risk.
Townsville: Race 5; #1 Bold Type
He's overdue for a win, running second in four straight races, but I don't love him back to 1000m here. He was beaten by Jemeldi three starts ago, and then turned the tables on him last start over 1250m. While he does meet Jemeldi 2kg better from when they met three back, I don't think he's as effective over the five furlongs.
GREYHOUNDS
Warragul: Race 3; #7 Reality Is
A wide box over this 680m start is a huge negative and I have seen some very good greyhounds beaten by a wide box in the past. If Reality Is gets turned sideways going into the first turn he is likely to get too far back.
Warragul: Race 8; #1 Zeus Thunderbolt
Zeus Thunderbolt was sensational resuming from a spell and winning his heat. I thought he would need the run but he ran an insane 25.41 first up. But there's something about this dog I prefer from out wide, and Box 1 and a ton of pressure isn't great for him in a race like this. Seeing he is fave I am happy to take him on.
