Saint Lucia Let Her Inspire You Handicap Stakes

Winless in his last five starts and ranked ninth of ten on our figures, Trooper has a stiff task here; 42 days off the track adds a fitness question, though he has at least been running to a fairly consistent level.

Balgowan arrives in fine fettle after back-to-back runner-up finishes, with a win three starts back and experience over today's trip and ground working in his favour; the 40-day absence is the one query.

Winless in his last five starts and a modest official mark of 52 counts against him, but 24 days since his last run leaves him fresh and he has run over today's going before; the fourth last time out, and a fourth two starts back, hints at some consistency without troubling the judge.

Third last time out following a win two starts back, Si White arrives in sharp form with just nine days between runs and a trainer firing at 27% over the past fortnight. He has run over today's going before and carries 131 lb.

Femme Fatale shaped with promise when runner-up last time out and has run over today's trip and going, giving her a solid grounding — the main risk is that she remains winless in her last five starts.
