Expert Racing Tips - 12th February 2026

Best lay bets in Australia for Thursday, February 12 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

Pakenham: Race 3; #6 Oyster Lane Down Arrow

A really good race, Plunger has jumped out very nicely but I did think we would be getting a bigger price than sub $4, Afterberna ran great first-up and gets Ethan Brown and Lightwatch is suited up to 1200m. I am happy to be against Oyster Lane, who was only fair first-up and may need 1400m this preparation.

GREYHOUNDS

Sandown Park: Race 8; #7 Morning Boss Down Arrow

Morning Boss has opened very short in early markets. I find this line of dogs very unpredictable and this dog needs a lot to pan out his way in races to run over the top late. Box 7 is likely no help either.

Sandown Park: Race 11; #4 Elite intention Down Arrow

Purely at the price point and from a squeeze box, I am against Elite Intention here. Hoping Paw Harris and Lamia Wheeze can use great draws to advantage and one of them can win this to make this a successful Lay of Elite Intention.
