Presque Isle Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Claiming
YES I'M JESS (6) is a nine-start maiden who has been in the money five times, Could only manage sixth last time out when resuming over 1207m at this track (Synthetic). Goes well here with five top-three finishes to his credit. Among the leading players. FREESTATE (4) last appeared when he finished seventh over 1207m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) on December 11. Has switched to the Kevin Rice stable. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. STARK COUNTY (2) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at his second outing when in contention on the bend, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1207m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. FRENCHMAN JAMES (1) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track (Synthetic) over 1207m. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
