ASAHI SUPER DRY NEVILLE SELLWOOD STAKES
AI Selections & Analysis (7 runners)
Barnavara boasts exceptional recent form with three wins from its last four starts and an impressive 38% win rate. With James McDonald aboard from barrier 2 for Chris Waller, it's perfectly poised to continue its winning ways, making it the top pick.
This horse has a strong win percentage of 43% and showed good form with two wins before a spell. While the last two runs were unplaced, a fresh start with Tommy Berry from barrier 3 for Chris Waller suggests a significant improvement is likely.
Despite a lower win percentage, Caviar Heights has a respectable 57% place rate and has been consistently around the mark in recent starts, including multiple placings. With Tom Marquand in the saddle and a favourable barrier 6, it presents a solid each-way prospect.
Bois D'argent has significant career earnings and a high place percentage, indicating class, but its recent form is inconsistent with many unplaced runs. Sam Clipperton from barrier 1 offers some hope, but it needs to recapture its best to be a threat.
Our Anchorage started well last preparation with three consecutive wins but has since struggled badly, failing to place in its last five outings. While it has a good jockey in Tim Clark and a decent barrier, its current form is a major concern.
Les Vampires has shown flashes of ability earlier in its career with a 28% win rate, but its recent form string is very poor, including two last-place finishes. It's hard to recommend based on current performance, despite the inside barrier.
Portland's recent form is concerning, with a string of unplaced runs and a low win percentage. While Kerrin McEvoy is a top jockey, the horse's overall career record and current form suggest it will struggle against this field.
