Lay bets are an offering unique to Betfair in Australia where punters can bet AGAINST a particular outcome.

THOROUGHBREDS

Moonee Valley: Race 6; #4 Oyster Lane Down Arrow 

Oyster Lane is talented but without early intent from John Allen, could end up three back on the fence with the favourite Esha, leading and controlling and that would be a near impossible position to win from.

Eagle Farm: Race 9; #12 Arisphere Down Arrow  

Has a solid record at the distance but the knock is yet to win on a wet track in five attempts. This is no easier than last start and with several winning chances engaged I am happy to risk her in this.

GREYHOUNDS

The Meadows: Race 2; #7 Canya All Class Down Arrow  

Canya All Class and Fade To Black went toe to toe at Bendigo last start and Fade To Black got the better of Canya All Class in the closing stages. So the extra 70 metres here is a positive for Fade To Black and a negative for Canya All Class just based on the outcome of that event. So at a shortish quote happy to Lay Canya All Class here.
