Robert Heathcote has his second consecutive Brisbane trainers' title in sight and now he's turning his attention to spring carnival riches in Sydney and Melbourne.

Heathcote holds an unbeatable lead in the premiership with 54 wins, more than double his nearest rival, and the 2009-10 title will add to his first victory last season.

He attributes much of the success to his ability to get horses to string multiple victories together and he's confident two of his stable stars who achieved that feat can take the next step at the southern carnivals.

"My goal at the start of the season was to get 50 city winners and now we've got 54 and won $2.8 million in prizemoney so it's been a good season," Heathcote said.

"The reality is you're only as good as the horses and I've been fortunate that horses have come along and put three, four and five wins together."

Star two-year-old Buffering will lead the interstate assault when he starts in the San Domenico Stakes (1000m) at Randwick on August 7 while top sprinter Woorim is bound for Melbourne and the Australia Stakes (1200m) at Moonee Valley in Cox Plate day.

Buffering strung four wins together for Larry Cassidy last campaign before he tasted defeat for the first time when third to Pressday in the Group Two Champagne Classic at his last run.

Cassidy will be on holidays when Buffering resumes and Heathcote has booked Danny Nikolic to ride the Mossman colt at his first Sydney start.

"He'll trial on Tuesday and go to Sydney the following Tuesday," Heathcote said.

"If he performs like I expect him to he'll go on to the Up and Coming Stakes and we'll go from there."

Woorim will this week return from a break which followed a hat-trick of victories that culminated in a dashing win in the Glasshouse Handicap. Heathcote said the-tender footed sprinter was in career-best shape.

"His feet have always been the problem but he won three straight last time which means we must have them right," he said.

"He went to the paddock at the top of his game and he's a very good sprinter when he's at his peak.

"I think Moonee Valley will suit him perfectly - I know they go very fast in the Australia Stakes but he can really sprint at the end of his races."

Heathcote said dual Ipswich Cup winner Our Lukas was another of his stars on standby to accompany Woorim to Melbourne.

"He'll probably go for the second-tier races. He's getting weighted out of the races up here and a race like the Waterford Crystal Mile might suit him perfectly," Heathcote said.
