Queensland Derby (G1)

Age: 3yo Type: OPEN

Favourite, the Kerry Parker-trained gelding Dark Dream, recent winner of the Rough Habit Plate (Gr 3, 2000m) here on 12 May, again staged a strong staying effort in taking this Group One feature. He raced in sixth place, one off the rails, before moving up well (deep) coming to the 600m. He challenged at the 200m and finished a bit too well to score by a short neck at the post. Darren Weir-trained Heavenly Thought, winner of the Grand Prix (Gr 3, 2200m) here on 26 May, had a nice trip from his inside barrier (1) in third spot on the rails, got along the inner to hit the front on straightening and then fought gamely for a very good second. Queensland Oaks (Gr 1, 2200m) winner Youngstar again settled well back and remained near the tail of the 16-horse field before going deep on turning for home. She then responded with a very late finish for an eye-catching third. Augustus raced in seventh place, improved nicely behind the leaders approaching the home turn, was third on straightening and kept battling on nicely for (3.2 lengths) fourth.
