Race Tip

SIEBERT (6) is unbeaten this campaign after two appearances, the latest win coming over 6f at Gosford. Same jockey stays aboard and appeals as a top chance again. NOVEMBER AIR (5) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by a long neck over 6½f at Canberra. Fitter for that last hitout and is among the leading chances. CAN'T TOUCH THIS (2) continues to race well with a win in a at Gosford before finishing 1. 5 lengths away in third last time over 6f at Wyong. Should camp just off the leaders. One of the main contenders. AHELLBENDA (4) pushed forward from a wide draw last start and found a position close to the lead before sticking on well to finish second over 7f at Randwick. This is a nice drop in grade so she is likely to play a big role.
