Expert Racing Tips - 16th January 2026

Best lay bets in Australia for Friday, January 16 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

Canterbury: Race 5; #1 Slinky Down Arrow 

This looks a competitive race and while SLINKY will drop in grade for it, the risk for him here looks likely to be his race map. From the wide barrier he looks likely to have no choice but to settle back in the run and that is expected to be a negative here today and he will be giving a head start to runners who come into the race with race fitness and positive race maps.

GREYHOUNDS

Geelong: Race 5; #7 Transcript Down Arrow

Transcript has a lot of potential but I could see him getting outgunned in the closing stages if he is in a battle with Mepunga Express and that's enough to warrant a Lay bet here.
