Gay Kelleway was successful with South African import D'Artagnan recently and AMICA looks a similar type. A respectable fifth in a Grade 3 contest at Turffontein is the pick of her three runs in South Africa and, though the handicapper has erred on the side of caution with a rating of 84 for her UK debut, she won't have to run up to that mark to better these rivals. Wishformore looks the best of the opposition with the remainder hard to fancy on these terms.
