Hong Kong-based jockey Zac Purton will return to Brisbane to ride Brazen in the 2016 Queensland Derby on June 11.

Purton was aboard Brazen on Saturday when he ran fifth to Mackintosh in the 2016 Grand Prix Stakes.

Brazen had previously run third in another traditional 2016 Queensland Derby lead-up, the 2016 Rough Habit Plate.

Purton scored a Listed win aboard Kamacite at Doomben last Saturday but finished out of the placings in the feature event, the 2016 Doomben 10,000 aboard Fell Swoop.
