Queensland Derby tilt for well-travelled Lavalier
Gulf Today
|May 31, 2025
Lavalier has never raced in better form and Godolphin Australia head trainer James Cummings will no doubt be hoping a slight freshen-up and a barriertrial will benefit the three-year-old going into Saturday's Gl Queensland Derby at Eagle Farm.
-
Considered a possible VRC Derby aspirant last spring, Lavalier failed to deliver in the lead-up before being sent for a spell.
The son of former top two-year-old Microphone and the fabulous broodmare Accessories, who has produced five individual Stakes winners-including Gl winners and sires Helmet and Epaulette, recaptured his early form with three strong placings in Melbourne and Adelaide over the past six weeks.
His latest effort, when third in the Gl South Australian Derby on 3 May, was full of merit after a tough early run from a wide barrier.
Cummings floated the gelding back to Sydney before a tick-over barrier trial at Warwick Farm on May 22 convinced the young trainer to send Lavalier to Queensland.
