Trainer Desleigh Forster will bid for her first two-state double on Wednesday if predicted rain stays away from Eagle Farm.

Forster's talented five-year-old How Brave is due to make his comeback in the Lyndhurst Stud Handicap (1200m) at Eagle Farm while stablemate Song Of Hope travelled to Sydney overnight to run in the Edensor Park Handicap (1400m) at Warwick Farm.

Eagle Farm was rated good on Tuesday but weather forecasters have predicted rain ahead of Wednesday's meeting.

"I'll run How Brave on a good track but if we get rain I've got him entered for Toowoomba on Friday," Forster said.

Song Of Hope was sent interstate to take advantage of the ratings-based races in Sydney after the mare leapfrogged into open grade with her victory in the Listed Princess Stakes (1600m) at Eagle Farm in April.

"How Brave is the only horse I've taken away before and we felt Song Of Hope was well placed in the ratings-based races they have in Sydney," Forster said.

"When Song Of Hope won the Princess Stakes she went from a class one horse to open grade.

"She's in a 1400-metre ratings race against horses that have won one and two races at Warwick Farm whereas in Brisbane she'd be in open grade.

"She'll have up to three runs down there and if she can become a Sydney winner it'll be good for her broodmare value as she's already won a Listed race."

Song Of Hope failed in six appearances during the winter following her black-type victory and has not started since finishing 12th to the Rob Heathcote-trained My Limit in a 1600-metre Open for three-year-olds at Eagle Farm on July 19.

The four-year-old mare finished fifth in an 800-metre barrier trial at Eagle Farm on November 11, the same day How Brave won a similar trial.

Forster sent How Brave to Sydney for the AJC Australian Derby (2400m) at Randwick last year but he missed the feature after suffering a back muscle injury when 12th to Mentality in the Group One Randwick Guineas (1600m).

Forster, who will be in Sydney to saddle up Song Of Hope, has never lost faith in How Brave's ability despite a form slump following his latest victory in class three company at Doomben in April.

"Last campaign we had him ridden forward and tried to get him to stay," Forster said.

"But he likes to be ridden quiet and that's how we want him ridden again.

"People think because horses get a light weight they can be ridden forward but horses race best where they are most comfortable.

"Despite his form last campaign I still think he's a good horse who will eventually stay and I haven't lost faith in him.

"He races best when he's not cluttered up and he'll run a nice race tomorrow but the false rail is out 12 metres which won't help his chances."
