Karen Zimmerman has vowed to return to Queensland next year with Barinka, and doesn't need a win in Saturday's Listed Glasshouse Handicap at Caloundra to entice her.

The Kiwi trainer is hopeful Barinka can break through for her first Australian win in the $175,000 1400-metre feature following the mare's second to Adnocon in the Listed Eye Liner Stakes at Ipswich two weeks ago.

Barinka will race on for another season before she heads to the breeding barn and Zimmerman hopes to be back chasing the Group One Winter Stakes at Eagle Farm next June.

"I was going to run her in the Winter Stakes last week but she's better on a wet track," Zimmerman said.

"I was very happy with her run in the Eye Liner. The track was too hard for her and she didn't handle the turn there too well.

"She was on the fence but she kept drifting out and ended up in the middle of the track.

"She pulled up well after the Eye Liner and her work since has been really good."

Lightweight jockey Jason Taylor, who rode Barinka in the Eye Liner, has been retained for the five-year-old's final winter start in the Glasshouse Handicap.

"She's racing on for another year and her owner wants to send her to a stallion over here next year," she said.

"I want to bring her back for the Winter Stakes and some of the other bigger races.

"I'm not sure whether she's up to the Stradbroke or Doomben 10,000 but winning the Winter Stakes which is Group One would be a nice way for her to go to stud."

Zimmerman has been training for 25 years but is on her first trip to Queensland.

She has won three Group One races in her homeland and rates Cinder Bella as the best horse she's trained.

Cinder Bella won twice at the elite level, in the Captain Cook Stakes in 2000 and Kelt Capital Stakes the following year.

"I brought her to Australia twice. She ran in the George Ryder and Doncaster in Sydney but she didn't do well," Zimmerman said.

"She didn't like being cramped up in the boxes over here and it told in both races when she was well beaten.

"I brought her back in the spring to Melbourne and she ran fourth in the Mackinnon Stakes and third in the Sandown Classic."

Zimmerman, who also won the 2004 Captain Cook Stakes with Rodin, rates Eye Liner Stakes winner Adnocon as her main danger on Saturday.

"Adnocon looks our main worry again and King Mufhasa will be hard to beat but he's got a lot of weight," she said.

Barinka's biggest win was in the Listed Anniversary Handicap at Trentham in January.
