Rob Heathcote is losing patience with the weather and is now contemplating sending Buffering straight to Melbourne for the spring if rain prevents the talented three-year-old from making his comeback at Eagle Farm.

Buffering is set to resume in Wednesday's Mirvac Hotels & Resorts Handicap (1000m) following his third to Pressday and Spirit Of Boom in the Group Two Champagne Classic (1200m) at Doomben in May.

Eagle Farm was rated a dead five on Tuesday but Heathcote is concerned the forecast for further rain could see the track downgraded to slow and possibly heavy.

Wet tracks in Sydney prevented Heathcote from sending Buffering south for the Group Three San Domenico Stakes at Randwick last Saturday.

Heathcote is hoping Sydney's current wet spell will clear in time to enable Buffering to start in the Group Three Up And Coming Stakes (1200m) at Warwick Farm on Saturday week.

"If we get much more rain I'm worried Eagle Farm might get too heavy and if it does Buffering won't run," Heathcote said.

"If that's the case he may have to go straight into the Up And Coming first-up but if the tracks are still wet in Sydney then I might send him straight to Melbourne instead.

"He's got 59.5 kilos tomorrow and I'm reluctant to give him such a hard task first-up on a wet track.

"It doesn't look good at this stage and I'll be guided by the weather."

Buffering showed he was well forward for a strong first-up performance by winning a 900-metre barrier trial at Doomben last month.

In the trial, he downed the Liam Birchley-trained Sister Havana, one his opponents at Eagle Farm, by more than seven lengths.

Fellow Queenslander Spirit Of Boom's performance to finish fourth to Obsequious in the San Domenico Stakes showed the Toowoomba sprinter was up to Sydney standard.

Sydney's wet tracks have already cost the harbour city the chance of seeing the return of Magic Millions winner Military Rose who is heading straight to Melbourne for the spring.

Heathcote already has plans to send stablemates Our Lukas and Woorim for the second-tier races in Melbourne.

Woorim had his first serious track gallop at Eagle Farm on Tuesday ahead of a series of Melbourne races including the Group Two Schweppervesence Stakes at Moonee Valley on September 23.

"Our Lukas is going to Melbourne with Woorim and he'll be set for some of the country Cups races like the Seymour Cup and an 1800-metre race at Flemington on Melbourne Cup day," Heathcote said.

Woorim hasn't raced since winning the Listed Glasshouse Handicap (1400m) at Caloundra on July 3 while Our Lukas won his second Listed Ipswich Cup (2150m) on June 19 before being spelled following his 10th to Ironstein in the Listed Caloundra Cup (2400m) on July 3.
