Tokyo Race 9 - Carnation Cup
Looks a race in two. EXCEED (10) is a promising filly yet to miss the frame in two starts, including a win. Last appeared when she finished third over 1800m at Nakayama on March 21. Backmarker who gets home hard. Will be tough to stop. ENJOY DE ASK (12) drifted back then closed strongly to score as favourite on debut over 2000m at Chukyo eight weeks ago. Promising type who can measure up again. LOSANGE (4) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 2000m at Fukushima, beaten 4.5 lengths. That followed a win at Chukyo at the previous outing. Looks the best of the rest. ROUGE LYRIC (2) is back at the races for the first time since March 14. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
