Best lay bets in Australia for Friday, November 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
Canterbury: Race 7; #3 Union Army
Looks a very open betting race but I am happy to take on UNION ARMY here who is the current favourite. There looks to be good early speed in the race but UNION ARMY isn't exactly a runner who expects to settle up on speed. From barrier 1 he is a chance of getting shuffled back on the rails and in an awkward position. On top of that he is 1st up into this race and isn't much of a 1st up performer. Follow him as he goes deeper into the prep but not for me in this race.
Moonee Valley: Race 3; #1 Cachink
I thought Savvyrocker would have been a rough hope in the Group 1 Thousand Guineas on Saturday if connections chose to accept, but they've lobbed here instead and I think she should be favourite. Cachink was an impressive maiden winner last time at Warrnambool, but he's going to find this tougher.
GREYHOUNDS
Sandown Park: Race 4; #2 Matt Loch
Matt Loch has opened up very short in early markets and hasn't raced since running last at Shepparton on November 1. So he could be a fitness query in a hot prelude like this so I am taking him on.
Sandown Park: Race 8; #8 Pass The Buck
Pass The Buck is the best greyhound in the race but I am purely against him because of the outside box. He has never drawn the outside box on a city track before and Box 8 at this venue has undone the very best dogs in the country. Mepunga Reward could also prove tough to navigate at the first turn.
Sandown Park: Race 9; #1 Hector Fawley
If Big Energy can replicate his brilliant win here last week he may lead all the way again. Vincent Bale rarely runs a bad race and must be respected. Both of these dogs really should be able to pinch a break on Hector Fawley mid race and at this stage of his career and even with the smaller field, I just can't see Hector Fawley being able to reel them in.
