Nakayama Race 11 - The Flower Cup(G3)
EXCEED (8) First up from a spell. Flew home to win last time at Tokyo and having second race start. Christophe Lemaire is a smart booking. Expected to be flashing home. Can measure up to this company. AIR BE A GALE (1) Fresh after a break. Produced an eye catching run when 2nd last time at Kyoto and has drawn the rails. Shows good early pace. Genuine winning chance. AMETISTA (13) First up after a break. Ran on hard when winning last run at the track and good career start. Will be positive in the run early. Looks to be value. GODIAMO (3) Resuming. Bold effort when winning last time here and fitter for debut run. Should jump out and bowl along. Has the ability to figure.

Set the tempo when winning by 1 1/2L last start at Tokyo and can find a nice position from the draw. On an upward trajectory in recent races. Significant improvement required.
