Verdict

PIERRE MESSIAH (2) appeals as the one to beat on debut, getting barrier 2 and 112lbs for Naoyuki Matoba, whose stable sits fourth for wins at this track and has a fair first-starter profile with 2 wins and 5 placings from 13. The Smart Falcon filly also has a workable trainer-sire record behind her. IIDE TWILIGHT (3) is the main danger, helped by Takayuki Yano taking the ride and a Takakazu Saso debut record of 2 wins and 5 placings from 6 starters. SOUND ATTRAIT (5) has a solid Keiyuki Suzuki debut base, while KEN WIND (1) draws the inside and profiles as a place hope for Chiaki Hori, with Keita Nishi bringing useful local experience.
