North Queensland filly Kiss Me Katy brought a quick end to Golden Slipper plans for Toowoomba colt Temple Of Boom at Eagle Farm.

Kiss Me Katy, who scored a sizzling debut win in Townsville in October, finished powerfully to maintain her unblemished record when she resumed to score by a half-neck over Funtantes in Saturday's Copperama Handicap (1000m).

Temple Of Boom, who scored an emphatic win on debut at the Gold Coast on January 3, plugged away to fill the minor placing a further 2-1/4 lengths away.

Trainer Tony Gollan immediately scrapped thoughts of aiming Temple Of Boom at the $3.5 million Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill in April.

"He went good but he's obviously come to the end of his preparation and needs a short break," Gollan said.

"He had to win this to warrant taking him south for the Golden Slipper but he won't be going now."

Kiss Me Katy's victory vindicated trainer Steve O'Dea's decision to bring a small team of five from Townsville to campaign in Brisbane until the end of February.

"This justifies our decision to bring her down," 31-year-old O'Dea said.

"I've never had a city winner until now."

Although it was O'Dea's first city winner, he's been in the winners' stall many times when with the Gold Coast stables of Alan Bailey and Gillian Heinrich.

He also served his training "`apprenticeship" with stints working for Gai Waterhouse and Kevin Moses in Sydney and Trevor Bailey, first in Melbourne, then in Singapore.

O'Dea, who has been training for only three years, plans to give Kiss Me Katy another couple of runs in Brisbane before deciding the Mull Of Kintyre filly's future.

"I'll keep her here in Brisbane until the end of February and I'll then play it by ear what to with her," he said.

"I'd like to take her back home for the Great Northern but if she goes well while she's here I might come back for the winter carnival.

The Great Northern (1200m) will be run at Townsville in June.

Kiss Me Katy showed she was a filly well above average when she clocked a sizzling 56.62 seconds in her 1000-metre victory in Townsville last year.

The filly was bred by North Queensland cane farmer Joe Rapisarda who raced her mother St. Covet Girl.

"Her mother was quite good and won four races in a row in Townsville before she went amiss," O'Dea said.

Runner-up Funtantes gave her trainer Robbie Heathcote a great sight.

"I thought she had it won 100 metres out," Heathcote said.

"It was a very good run and she'll back-up next week."
