Things haven't quite gone to plan for dual Group One winner Streama this season but she will be given the chance to put that right in Brisbane's richest race, the Stradbroke Handicap.

Appearance upstaged her more fancied stablemate in the Myer Classic in the spring and proved it was no fluke by claiming Sydney's two autumn Group One fillies and mares races, the Coolmore Classic and the Queen of the Turf.

Although she hasn't won this campaign, Streama hasn't run badly and her past two races for third in the Queen of the Turf and fourth in the Doncaster Mile have been encouraging enough for trainer Guy Walter to target the Stradbroke (1400m) on June 8 which offers $1 million to the winner.

"She won't run before the Stradbroke but she will probably have a barrier trial," Walter said.

"She has had a couple of light weeks and is still fit and well and I think she deserves her chance at a race like that."

While Streama might not have lived up to expectations so far this preparation, the Walter-trained Skyerush has been on the mark and will also head north.

Walter's aimed the seven-year-old mare at a defence of the Group Two Emancipation Stakes and along the way to that success she picked up wins in the Liverpool City Cup and the Doncaster Prelude.

Although both races would have guaranteed her a start in the $2 million Doncaster Mile, Skyerush was never entered for the feature with Walter and owner Susie Castle-Roche preferring to concentrate on her set goals which also include the Tatt's Tiara on June 22 in which she finished a close second to Pear Tart last year.

"Skyerush is also entered for the Stradbroke but I think she needs to be fresh for the 1400 metre race later on," Walter said.

"She has had a nice ease-up. She is a wonderful mare who has done so much this preparation and I would like to see her get a Group One."

The weight Streama gets in the Stradbroke will determine her jockey. Heavyweight rider Hugh Bowman is her regular partner but Glen Boss rode her at 53.5kg in the Doncaster.
