Consistent mare Funtantes can end her career with a flourish at Eagle Farm on Saturday.

Trainer Robert Heathcote hasn't finalised a date for the retirement of Funtantes but says she deserves to bow out a winner.

"This campaign will pull her up and I'd like to think she can go out on a high note," Heathcote said.

"Another win for her would be a fitting send off."

Funtantes isn't the best horse Heathcote has trained but he has a deep admiration for the mare's consistency and longevity.

"She's won more than $650,000 and she's a multiple stakes winner," he said.

"We bred her and she's performed year in, year out since she was a two-year-old."

The six-year-old ran an encouraging fifth to Doubtfilly in the Ascot Handicap at her last start when she raced on the fence, a part of the track rated inferior ground.

"I liked her last run," Heathcote said.

"She looked the winner with 100 metres to go but I thought the 57kg and the slow track just caught up with her in the final stages.

"On Saturday she's well weighted with Priscilla Schmidt's 2kg claim which brings her in with a good weight and the drier the track is, the better her chances of winning."

Heathcote will also start Gundy Son in the same race after he finished last in the Ramornie Handicap at Grafton when he missed the start.

"He was fractious in the gates and sat down as the start was affected which effectively ruled him out of the race," he said.

"I'm just hoping we miss the showers that are forecast and if we do then he's in with a chance."

Heathcote says the hopes of two of his other Eagle Farm runners, Hidden Kisses and Heza Jetsetter, will also be governed by the weather.

"Heza Jetsetter hasn't come up as well as last prep but he got a bug which set us back a bit and again the wet tracks haven't helped him," he said.

"The claim will help Hidden Kisses. The 1200 metres is short of her best but she can be effective if the track comes back to dead."
