Best lay bets in Australia for Wednesday, October 16 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

Doomben: Race 7; #10 Acappella Nova 

Coming off a stylish maiden win here, however it's no mean feat to win a maiden and then a Class 1. He will get a nice run from the low draw if he can jump cleanly and muster speed, yet there're a few nice horses coming through better races that can upset here.

GREYHOUNDS

Ballarat: Race 4; #1 Chemical Erosion 

This race has some good depth to it and just at the price point I am going to take on Chemical Erosion. He flew here two starts back in 21.95 but thought he was disappointing here last start and I am against at the likely short price.

Ballarat: Race 8; #4 Joey The Jet 

Joey The Jet has yet to taste defeat but he could be vulnerable here. He hasn't raced in 5 weeks so he may have had an issue. Additionally, Boracay Storm is a very hard chaser in the early stages of races and could cut him off early. Sydney Show and Lightning Jedda have been in sensational recent form and are capable of winning without surprising.
