Talented mare On The Fridge will launch trainer Rob Heathcote's quest for his first Group One success during the winter carnival when she makes her comeback in the Listed Juanmo Quality at Eagle Farm.

Heathcote, who will also saddle up seven-year-old mare Colonial Quest in Saturday's 1200-metre feature, has only won up to Group Three level with Bell Academy in last year's Grand Prix Stakes at Eagle Farm.

On The Fridge has won six of her 11 starts but hasn't appeared since she scored a sensational victory in the Listed Paul Crooks Handicap (1300m) at Eagle Farm in December.

"She's clearly got a lot of talent and is the best horse in this field," Heathcote said.

"Her last win was very exciting and although she's drawn awkwardly (gate 11) it's not such a bad thing as she gets back in her races.

"Hopefully, this will be the start of a big campaign and she'll go on and be nominated for the Doomben 10,000 and Stradbroke Handicap as well as the Winter Stakes.

"If she's right she should win this."

Heathcote hasn't ruled out Colonial Lass playing a major role in her first start since finishing ninth to Rags To Riches in the Listed Tatt's Mile (1600m) at Eagle Farm last June.

"Her last preparation was quite poor but we're not sure if it was the after-effects of the equine influenza outbreak," he said.

"She's more of a miler and this might be too short but she'll be competitive, especially if the track remains slow."

Colonial Lass, the winner of eight of her 44 starts, will be sold at the Magic Millions broodmare sale at the Gold Coast in June.

Meanwhile, Michael Cahill will make a timely return to Brisbane's riding ranks ahead of the winter carnival with rides in three of the four Listed races.

Cahill is back following a successful six-month stint in Singapore where he won 25 races including victory on Beau Brummel in the Group Three The Merlion Trophy (1200m) at Kranji.

Cahill, who has also had success in Hong Kong and Macau, will ride With A Chance (Members' Handicap), Mr Hornblower (Dr John Power Handicap) and Calchris (Juanmo Quality).

The three-time Group One-winning jockey arrived back at his Gold Coast home last Sunday after spending time with family at Cowra in NSW following an Asian holiday.

"I'm a bit heavier after the holidays but I hope to get my weight down to 55 kilos soon," he said.

Cahill applied for an extension to his contract in Singapore and is at a loss to explain why it was denied.

"I had planned to stay on but for some reason I wasn't granted an extension," he said.

"I'm back riding in Brisbane for the foreseeable future and I plan to stay here right through the winter carnival.

"I'm surprised how strong the riding ranks in Brisbane have become with Larry Cassidy now riding here and Glen Colless, Jason Holder and Stathi Katsidis still to come back."
