In depth
Verdict
Sambucca Spirit finished a close-up third in a classified event here in November but EESHA SAYS was beaten only a neck in a course and distance handicap on her penultimate start and that looks the stronger form. She’s taken to confirm running with Amazing Amaya and go one better. Final Legacy also went close on a couple of occasions over track and trip last month and is preferred to Gupta while the more exposed Gorgeous General was winning here at this time last year and can also figure.
