Can this be done as an automated bet for in play? Like if a horse is 5, but I only want to back it IF it gets to 2 in-running instead of manually doing it in play? I tried a few times today (fixed price in play automation) but it only seems to give me the best price once the race goes off.

Betfair will always match bets at the best available odds at the time it reaches the market.
So if you try to back a selection/runner at lower odds than its current price
For example if you back at 1.50 and the price is currently 3.65 you will get matched at 3.65
Or
If you try to lay a selection/runner at higher odds than its current price
For example if you lay at 17.0 and the price is currently 6.8 you will get matched at 6.8
The only way you can back at lower odds OR lay at higher odds than the current price is to use automation to trigger the bet as the price rises or falls using a 'Fixed odds Condition'
For example with a Back bet you could use ''Place at' fixed odds 1.50
Fixed odds condition
Selections last traded price is
< 1.55

OR
With a Lay bet you could use ''Place at' fixed odds 17.0
Fixed odds condition
Selections last traded price is
> 16.5
