3 minute read

Best lay bets in Australia for Saturday, April 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

Randwick: Race 6; #5 Travolta Down Arrow

Travolta has looked to have every chance to run on and win in his last few starts but hasn't managed so. He perhaps can improve back down in distance but dropping in distance now with runners in the race that will put speed into it in the early stages, could have him left flat footed late. Risking him in this set up.

Mornington: Race 6; #3 Wonder Boy Down Arrow

Wonder Boy is in good form and has obviously been targeted at this considering it's on the home deck. But even money is just too short for me considering he is 2 from 16 and when he does win has to be thrown across the line.

HARNESS

Albion Park: Race 5; #1 Studleigh Mark Down Arrow

Studleigh Mark has only placed in 17% of middle trip starts. Any early burn will hurt his place chances.
