Expert Racing Tips - 13th February 2026

Best lay bets in Australia for Friday, February 13 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

Cranbourne: Race 4; #5 Jareth Down Arrow

Jareth only started getting warm over further than 1600m and deeper into his preparation over the Winter months. Maybe spelling with Maher and returning first-up over 1600m is some signs of intent but the map looks hellish too and from that gate I think he will need to produce a sprint that he simply doesn't have to be able to win. Very surprised he is favourite.

GREYHOUNDS

Geelong: Race 8; #8 Paw Phelps Down Arrow

Paw Phelps' best form has come from inside draws. There is plenty of early pace and pressure here and he could find them too zippy in the early stages and leave his run too late.

Geelong: Race 9; #2 Baffert Down Arrow

Baffert has been making plenty of mistakes in recent weeks and seeing he is likely going to be in red figures there are more negative variables than positive ones which is risky so I would rather be on the Lay side.
