Lay bets are an offering unique to Betfair in Australia where punters can bet AGAINST a particular outcome.
THOROUGHBREDS
Tamworth: Race 2; #3 Moon Treaty 
Moon Treaty resumes for a new stable here after starting his career in South Australia. He comes into this 1st up over the 1000m, from what he produced earlier in his career, I've got a query around his race map. He has shown previously he likes to go back in runs and from barrier 2 and in a full field, if he does go back he could find him in an awkward spot, keeping a close eye on him and looking to next start when he rises in trip.
GREYHOUNDS
Steeple was a successful Lay here last week and I'm going again. This is arguably a weaker race with some unknowns or one of the first starters could hopefully be a rocket. If Steeple hits the lead too early I don't think he will want to go on with the job.
Geelong: Race 10; #8 Blue Blood
Blue Blood has a ton of upside but would prefer him drawn closer to the rails and over 460m. It's enough for a small Lay bet but the smaller field makes me nervous.
Mr Blue took a tumble when he last raced in June and the early pressure will be on here. Let's Win Ollie looks every chance to cross him early and Mr Blue could get jammed up on the paint.
