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

THOROUGHBREDS

Geelong: Race 4; #3 Diamond Gust Down Arrow

LAY: 3. Diamond Gust (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $4.75) An interesting race, I am against Diamond Gust, who lacks a turn of foot but did control the race and lead all the way two back at Sale but then sat on-speed at Caulfield when up in trip and faded, so I don't think they will settle in the first two and if they don't, I don't think he has sharpness to beat a Houdini or Lario.

Warwick Farm: Race 6; #4 Metallic Cat Down Arrow

LAY: 4. Metallic Cat (WIN) for 1 unit (Rated at $4.00) METALLIC CAT ran well to win her maiden last start but I can get her as short as the market has currently in this race so happy to risk her at the price. She steps up in level today and in tougher competition, draws out in a wider barrier which makes it likely she will get a tougher run in the early stages and she is a risk at getting caught wide, if she doesn't get the right luck early the short price may feel worrying

GREYHOUNDS

The Meadows: Race 5; #1 Little Rat  Down Arrow

LAY: 1. Little Rat (WIN) for 1 unit (Rated at $3.65) Little Rat won well here last start but that was in a very weak Maiden and this looks harder. Hoping Garnet Glow can drive Little Rat mad in the early stages to ensure a successful Lay.
