2013 Neville Sellwood Stakes

The field enjoyed a pretty even start, with Why Not taking the lead ahead of Single, while Lights Of Heaven settled nicely just in behind this pair. At the 1000 metre mark, the pace was slow as Why Not and Single continued to show out in front, so Luke Nolen decided to make a move on Lights Of Heaven. The mare cranked up the pace and swept around the outside of the field to go to the lead in the straight, with Hoylonny and Said Com throwing down a challenge. However, this was short-lived as Lights Of Heaven found another gear to win by two lengths from Hoylonny with Said Com in third.
