Interstate plans for Teronado are unchanged despite his Eagle Farm defeat on Saturday.

Teronado, the $3 favourite, stormed home to finish second, beaten a head, in the Kendrick Racing Handicap (1200m) won by Prussian Heart but earned a rave review from trainer Bruce Hill.

"I think that was his best ever performance," Hill said.

"He carried 59 kilograms and they've run their last 600 metres in 33.91 (seconds) and he was six lengths off them on the home turn.

"What time has he run?"

Hill said Teronado will head to Sydney where he will have his next start in the Group Three Ming Dynasty Quality (1400m) at Randwick on September 7.

Jockey Damian Browne said the slow tempo in the early stages proved costly for Teronado.

"They went a bit steady mid-race which didn't help and he still does a bit wrong," he said.

"It took him 100 to 150 yards to get into rhythm and for him to only be beaten a head was a very good effort."

Prussian Heart's trainer Michael Nolan said the colt appreciated the drop back to 1200 metres on Saturday.

"The 1300 metres last start was just 100 metres too far for him but he got the job done today," he said.

"We might give him one more run and then turn him out but he'll make a nice horse later on."

Also heading interstate is Listen Son after he led throughout to win the Gympie Southside Shop Handicap (1200m).

Trainer Tony Gollan will aim Listen Son at the Group Three Cameron Handicap (1500m) at Newcastle on September 15.

Gollan has been frustrated in his efforts to place Listen Son in suitable races due to a spate of wet tracks.

"For two seasons we couldn't get dry tracks when we wanted them and he's had plenty of interrupted preparations," Gollan said.

"We've had storms in summer and wet winters so we've tried something different and had him in work this time of year when it's traditionally dry."

Listen Son comfortably held a late surge from runner-up Funtantes to win by 1-1/2 lengths.
