Best lay bets in Australia for Thursday, January 9 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
Rockhampton: Race 2; #3 Woodstock Rock 
There was nothing in it between Scrub Chain and Woodstock Rock last start at Mackay, but Scrub Chain hung around the corner, had to do the chasing and did enough to win there, and now gets back to a big track and meets Woodstock Rock 0.5kg better at the weights. Woodstock Rock was sent out double figures there, so they're too close together in our book.
Blacklist was terrific first-up for the new camp and should get every possible from the inside draw. Against Emphasize, who ran well here on debut but will likely be taken back from the wide draw and be spotting the two favourites a start.
GREYHOUNDS
Sandown Park: Race 8; #3 Groovebird
Groovebird has had a big couple of weeks including a run over 600m last Thursday at Albion Park. If she is slightly off her best with all the travel that could be the difference between winning and losing in a race with plenty of depth.
Sandown Park: Race 10; #5 Blazing Dino
Thought Blazing Dino had every chance here last start and didn't run the distance. From Box 5 he may have to burn plenty of energy charging across to the lead and could be walking late again.
