Former top Grafton sprinter Starlactic could be on his last Brisbane visit if he again fails to end a mystery form slump at Eagle Farm on Saturday.

Hobby trainer Wayne Lawson is hoping to pull a rabbit out of the hat with Starlactic who resumes in the Rohrig Handicap (1000m).

The seven-year-old has a long history of problems and has not won since scoring at Doomben in August 2006.

"This might be his last trip if he doesn't show some form," Lawson said.

"He's hasn't raced well for a long time but he'd get the grandstand if I ran him down here (at Grafton).

"I decided not to give him a barrier trial before this run because I'm trying to keep him interested."

Starlactic has won 11 of his 26 starts but has failed to fire since he injured a tendon working on Grafton's artificial track following his second placing at Lismore in March last year.

"I've had a few vets look at him and they can't find anything wrong," said Lawson, who is an electrician by trade.

"He's had a lot of problems in his career. He's had a bad back, leg problems and has a bad jaw and needs a dentist to him every few weeks.

"He eats on one side of his mouth but he doesn't leave any of his feed. The vets think the jaw could be one of his problems as it's a bit like a toothache."

Starlactic didn't race for over a year after hurting his near-side front tendon and has failed dismally in three appearances since making his latest comeback from injury in April.

At his last outing, Starlactic finished ninth, 19 lengths from the winner Babinda Half, over 1000 metres on a heavy track at Eagle Farm on July 5.

"There's nothing wrong with him and it could all be mental," Lawson said.

"But I wouldn't be taking him to Brisbane if I didn't think he'd race well."

Grafton apprentice Ben Looker, who for a brief time was in Sydney with Rosehill trainer Tim Martin, will utilise his three-kilogram claims on Starlactic.

Looker is back with Grafton trainer John Shelton and is hoping to take advantage of his claim with regular trips to Brisbane.
