Best lay bets in Australia for Friday, October 18 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
Had excuses last start for the poor performance however sits on just the one win from 23 starts. Trainer Mitch Faulkner has a small stable but has not trained a winner for over 12 months.
GREYHOUNDS
Geelong: Race 3; #3 Frog March
Frog March may get squeezed up In the early stages in a field of this quality and if he finds any bother I just can't see him being able to run these handy chasers down.
Riendo is a short course specialist who does her best racing exploding to the front and holding on to win. She may well lead this but Tommy Tequila and Aston Fantastic should use the smaller field to perfection and land right behind her and should run over the top of her. Riendo has better form from middle and wide draws which adds to my Lay confidence.
Geelong: Race 6; #4 Pat Ability
Pat Ability hasn't raced since since September 1. It is not an ideal preparation going into a hot short course series like this and she may need the run. Leo Bale is drawn very well in Box 8 and Myrniong Storm keeps improving and scored a gutsy win last start.
Mr Beets is very well drawn in Box 1 here but I am just not convinced he is at his best at the moment. He has been raced very sparingly and he meets powerful sprinter Description here who has plenty of race fitness on his side.
