A cracking edition of the $1 million Group 1 Queensland Derby. STATUARIO (3) gave a big sight but just got run down late in the SA Derby last time out. Goes well for Allen who is yet to miss a drum in three rides and maps perfectly from gate five. Will be rock-hard fit for this and can go one better to bring up the Group 1. KING OF THUNDER (4) hit the frame in the Rough Habit at the latest effort and will be better for that hit-out. Must be respected from the O'Shea/Charlton barn. FEMMINILE (16) was super impressive saluting in the SA Derby last start and will have derived a stack of confidence from that breakthrough victory. Don't dismiss lightly. The well-related LAVALIER (6) (half to 3xG1 winner Helmet and 2xG1 winner Epaulette) doesn't win out of turn but may trouble the judge with the right run in transit. BELLE DETELLE (17) next in line but will need some luck from the horror draw.
