Best lay bets in Australia for Thursday, December 5 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 3; #2 Universal Harmony 
Universal Harmony will undoubtably win one of these races but is now 0/9 and finds a harder race here than what he struck at Bairnsdale last start. The booking of Blake Shinn likely keeps him very firm in the market.
This is easier than last start and although had a tough run I am not sure if this horse is going as well as she has previously and another tricky draw awaits her in this.
Coffs Harbour: Race 2; #5 Rothesay's Ruby
Found this race quite open and was surprised to see favourite ROTHESAY'S RUBY floating around that even money price. While she is the runner who probably most looks suited in this grade dropping down a level now. I feel she has some stiff competition from the likes of SPIELE & VENOM WOLF. So do think ROTHESAY'S RUBY is a winning chance, but happy to risk her at anything close to even money.
GREYHOUNDS
Sandown Park: Race 3; #2 Spritely Sian
Spritely Sian should be able to use Box 2 to advantage to find the lead but the gas tank could be running empty late in a race with some strong closers. Adding to my Lay confidence, Honey Zen could ping the lids and hopefully annoy Spritely Sian in the middle stages.
HARNESS
Ballarat: Race 4; #6 Nothing Sweeter
Looks a bit of early speed here so Nothing Sweeter has an awkward draw. WIll have to work at some point to win and just dont think its going well enough to do so.
