PHILIP WOO’S FORMLINE

Lovero continues to hold his form very well with placings in three of his past four starts following a 1,600m win in January at his second run for his new trainer and is a multiple winner in the past over the Valley 1,650m. Zac Purton should give him every chance from gate three. Do Your Part scored an overdue win over 1,400m in November before reeling off placings five times at this level, including close seconds at his past two starts over the Valley 1,650m. The only concern is gate 11. Power Of Vitam was a smart come-from-behind winner with a step up to 1,600m at his second local run and does come into this off a closing sixth over 1,400m. He makes his course debut but should be suited by the 1,650m. Violet Star did not click last start over 1,800m but had stayed on well for fifth and third in two prior starts over tonight's track and trip and is ideally drawn off a light weight.
