3 minute read

Best lay bets in Australia for Wednesday, January 8 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

Warwick Farm: Race 3; #3 It's A Wonder 

There wasn't much between IT'S A WONDER and ALICE MAE last start, and I think the latter was stronger through the line. She's a mare with her fair share of ability but her racing pattern suggests that she will be giving them a start. She handles it wet, but is she looking for a mile? I'm not sure and at the top of the market, we're happy to be against her.

Devonport: Race 6; #1 Intisar 

Intisar surprisingly is favourite. She looks vulnerable back in trip.

GREYHOUNDS

The Meadows: Race 4; #1 Riviera Bale 

Riviera Bale has opened very short in early markets. This is a poor race and he does have the inside draw but I can see him paddling in the closing stages and getting over run. Seeing he will start heavy fav, happy to be against at the price.

The Meadows: Race 9; #8 Aviation 

Aviation has been greatly improving with every start but this is a new habitat and distance range and the outside draw doesn't help. Small Lay.

HARNESS

Bendigo: Race 1; #8 Bettorsweetvictory 

Definite hope in an even race but looks like being buried about 4 pegs tonight. Worth a risk.
