Verdict
Four of these, Lady Skipper, her stablemate Fendi, Slick Chick and Amemri ran in a similar race at Down Royal a month ago and though none were placed it was a rough race and the form is probably best overlooked. Static Charge ran in some strong maidens before turning to handicaps where he hasn't had much success but HILLTOP'S BEAR ran his best race to date at Down Royal on Monday and normal progress can see him off the mark.
