Neville Sellwood Stakes 2022 Preview

Track: Likely Heavy Weather: Chance of Showers.

Fourteen runners have accepted for the $160,000 Group 3 Neville Sellwood Stakes and there have been no early scratchings. The Chris Waller stable and Paul Perry stable saddle up two runners each whilst the other stables only have one entry each.

Mount Popa is the favourite for this race on the back of his decent run behind Stockman in the Sky High Stakes. He drifted a touch on the day as he was sweating badly in the parade ring but still performed well. Polly Grey is second in the betting after failing on the quick back-up last start.

Sky Lab is the third favourite and he had excuses behind Mount Popa in the Sky High Stakes.
