Expert Racing Tips - 9th January 2026

Best lay bets in Australia for Friday, January 9 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 6; #10 Razanne Down Arrow

Razanne is a bit short for me, the debut run was good but the map from the outside barrier appears tricky and it isn't a stable where I project improvement from their debut run to second start.

GREYHOUNDS

Geelong: Race 4; #8 Paw Xena Down Arrow

Paw Xena will need everything to go right from the outside draw. Zero Killer will likely course wide early and on the home turn so Paw Xena could have some navigation problems. Paw Quark and Rock It Queen should get more efficient runs and hopefully one of them can win.

Geelong: Race 9; #1 Aston Haruto Down Arrow

There is enough early pace throughout here that I could see Aston Haruto getting jammed up from the inside draw in the early stages. Hopefully it is as simple as that.
