Best lay bets in Australia for Friday, August 23 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
Geelong: Race 2; #11 Extreme Diamond 
Extreme Diamond is a little short for me, off some good jumpouts but an underwhelming debut, I will be interested in what the late Betfair market does with him.
GREYHOUNDS
Geelong: Race 8; #6 Lightning Jewel
Lightning Jewel has won five in a row but I am taking her on here. She has only had the one start at Geelong and in a hot field here and add in Box 6 and there are negatives for her. Hotel Whisky One has been super since joining the Azzopardi kennel and My Magic Man can show explosive mid race pace and looks well drawn.
Geelong: Race 11; #1 Dr Falkor
Dr Falkor scored an incredible win in scintillating time at Horsham last start but the wide draw and smaller field suited. In a likely full field here, Box 1 isn't ideal as he will want to hook to the outside but he was so good last start I am going to keep this Lay to 1 unit only in case he explodes out and leads.
HARNESS
Mildura: Race 6; #11 Foregone Conclusion
We were on this guy at Cranbourne on Sunday night but that was because he mapped to lead. Today a completely different scenario and a big ask from outside the back row over the sprint trip on this track. Just have to be against him today.
