Hobby trainer Jeffrey Caught hasn't given up on a Sydney trip for Falino despite the three-year-old's defeat at Eagle Farm.

Falino, who scored a six-length win on debut at Doomben last month, finished third, two lengths from the winner Random Orbit in Saturday's Thirsty Camel Handicap (1400m).

Apprentice Mitchell Speers was caught four wide for the first 400 metres on Falino before he was able to cross the field to lead.

The son of Fusaichi Pegasus showed plenty of fight and only surrendered the lead over the concluding stages.

Caught, who works as a full-time design draftsman in Brisbane, has a small team of six horses in training and was hopeful a win from Falino would confirm a trip to Sydney later this month.

"They worked him over early on but it was a good run considering he was stepping up to 1400 metres second-up," Caught said.

"I was happy with the run and there's another win in him soon on that effort.

"I'll see how he pulls up and he's still a chance of him going south."

Caught paid $14,000 for Falino at an Inglis tried horse sale in Sydney in July and retained a half-share after selling him to clients.

Caught originally planned to test the gelding in black-type company in Sydney but has lowered his sights to a BOBS race at the end of the month.

Random Orbit's victory was the third city win for apprentice Brent Evans since his return from Victoria in August.

Evans was sacked in June by his former master Mick Kent for not turning up to work for four days straight.

The indiscretion followed a positive drug test to "ice" at Pakenham races which resulted in a three-month suspension which was subsequently reduced to two months.

Evans' new boss Rob Heathcote has abandoned plans to send Hidden Kisses to Melbourne for the spring after the filly finished fifth.

"I was delighted with the run but perhaps Chris (Munce) made an error and should have come wide on her," Heathcote said.

"She ran a nice race but I'll need to talk with her owners about sending her to Melbourne.

"I'd say she'll stay in Brisbane now for a 1500-metre race at Eagle Farm in two weeks."

Despite Hidden Kisses' defeat, Heathcote had a big day with a two-state double from Buffering in the Group Two Roman Consul Stakes at Randwick and Captain Clayton in the Shafston Hotel Handicap at Eagle Farm.

Heathcote is hoping his luck will continue when Woorim runs in Sunday's Listed Herald Sun Stakes at Flemington.
