Thanks UB, but this won't work for SP placed bets.
Also Betfair have been known to close accounts for this tactic.

Of course the obvious solution is to lay the rest of the field, but then you are limited by market percentages and lose the overlay advantage of particular odds overlays. Ran this scenario on Excel, the advantage definitely disappears!
This is a case where laying the other runners is not the same as backing a few.
