Caulfield-based jockey Michael Dee will return to his homeland to partner the Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young-trained Rising Red in Saturday's Gr.1 $1 million Vodafone New Zealand Derby.
A son of Redwood, Rising Red proved too good for his older rivals at Sandown last week and previously had finished a closing second to subsequent Group Two winner Farson.
The Busuttin/Young team have enjoyed good success with staying three-year-olds, having landed VRC and ATC Derbys with Sangster and Tavago respectively.
