Verdict
The drop back to 7f may suit AMICA who gets the nod in this tight fillies' handicap. Rikissa took a step forward last time and it's of some interest that her leading stable is persevering with her as a 4-y-o. Karl Burke pair Party Bear and Diamont Katie would enter the reckoning if the betting suggests they are ready to roll after 6-month breaks.
