Expert Racing Tips - 15th January 2026

Best lay bets in Australia for Thursday, January 15 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

Newcastle: Race 7; #6 Siebert Down Arrow

SIEBERT has won two in a row this prep and is in good form, but this is another step up in distance for her. She draws out wide with speed below here which feels like the risk, if she gets a tough run while up in distance she may be vulnerable late. Would have been keener if she mapped softer vs rivals but given this set up I am happy to risk her

GREYHOUNDS

Sandown Park: Race 1; #2 Minters Jet Down Arrow

This is one of those races where anything could win this without surprising so seeing Minters Jet will go close to starting fave, and purely at the price point, I am happy to take him on as others have more upside.

Sandown Park: Race 2; #7 Paw Matic Down Arrow

Paw Matic has a ton of upside but I'm happy to take her on from a wide draw. 5,3,1 and 2 are all capable of winning this and Paw Matic needs everything to go right from the wide draw, this is her toughest test to date.
