An emotional Guy Walter has declared top mare Streama on course to win her fourth Group One race after she returned to the winner's circle at the Gold Coast.

Streama ($3.30) scored her first win since the Group One George Main Stakes in September when she overhauled Mr O'Ceirin ($5.50) to win Saturday's Group Two Hollindale Stakes (1800m) by a half length.

There was another half length to old warrior Precedence ($26) who was an eye-catching third.

Walter was clearly moved by the win and declared Streama deserved her chance in the Group One Doomben Cup (2020m) on May 17 which could be her final start.

"Streama has had a great career," Walter said.

"She is such a brave mare. She has won three Group One races and deserves her chance at a fourth.

"Don't forget she has won from 1200 metres to 2400 metres and she has won an AJC Oaks.

"I have a real soft spot for her and she has beaten some top class horses."

Walter admitted he was worried about the wet track at the Gold Coast but the mare had no problems with the ground.

He said plans for the mare were up in the air after the Doomben Cup but the breeding barn could be calling the six-year-old.

Winning jockey Blake Shinn said Streama was a top class mare who had responded after they got into a great spot in the run.

Trainer Ciaron Maher said he would also chase the Doomben Cup with Mr O'Ceiren.

"I would be mad not to go ahead," he said. "It was a great run and he will be a lot fitter for that."

Jockey Glen Boss agreed Mr O'Ceiren was the runner with the most upside out of the Hollindale.

"My worst fears came true when they turned this into a real speed battle," he said.

"He did a great job but his fitness gave out in the last little bit."

Jockey Glen Colless was also thrilled with the run of Precedence who rattled home.

"He will only get better for that run," Colless said. "It is a good pointer to races like the Brisbane Cup."

The favourite Junoob ($3.20) was fourth and did not disappoint jockey Nash Rawiller.

"He didn't handle that (wet) track today and it was a good effort," he said.

Junoob and his Chris Waller-trained stablemate Moriarty, who finished fifth, are both set to tackle the Doomben Cup.

Jockey Craig Newitt reported Moriarty was "stopped in his tracks" half way up the straight when he was making his run.
