Presque Isle Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
ST. EMILION (3) rates on top with proven mile form, including a 2nd at Tampa Bay over 1609m two starts back, and returns to this trip after leading at Gulfstream before weakening. WHINE COUNTRY (4) brings a solid last-start 4th at Gulfstream over 1609m, beaten 5.5L, and can be competitive again. MUSKET MAGIC (5) has tactical speed and three straight mile placings at Tampa Bay, most recently 3rd beaten 3.3L, and looks a key chance.

Comes off a 71-day break after a much-improved 4th at Gulfstream Park over 1609m on 8 Mar, beaten 5.5L in a MSW 90 at $51 after racing handy from barrier 9 with 55.5kg. Prior run he was 8th over 1408m there on 7 Feb, beaten 24.3L in a MSW 88 at $29 when back in the field. Drops 1kg to 54.5kg and draws better in barrier 4 for Edwin Gonzalez for Riley Mott. Can improve with the softer draw and recent progression.
