The Rough Habit Plate is raced under set weight conditions over 2020m and provides the ideal lead up to the Gr1 Queensland Derby over 2400m later in the carnival at Eagle Farm in June. Empires Choice (2007), De Gaulle Lane (2001), Dodge (1998) & Tenor (1994) all managed to go on and win the Derby after winning this event.

In recent times Moatize (2nd in 2008) and Larry's Never Late (3rd in 2009) both went on to place third in the Queensland Derby after running placings in the Rough Habit Plate.

The Gr3 Gunsynd Classic held two weeks earlier over 1600m at Eagle Farm has been a good guide to this race in previous years with Belmonte (2006), Bob's Boy (2003), and Marble Halls (1997) all managing to take out both races. Sanderson (3rd in 2010) won the Gunsynd Classic before finishing thid in the Rough Habit Plate at his next start.

Fillydelphia (2011) finished down the track in the Gunsynd Classic at Eagle Fram prior to winning this event and recent Rough Habit Plate winners include The Hombre (2010) and Rockdale (2009).
