Pro Is Here to apply plenty of early pressure over the sprint journey. LITTLE SILVER (4) went straight into Saturday grade first-up and finished toward the rear, though this is a much better assignment for him. Faithfull takes the ride and he shouldn't be far away from a suitable draw. Big chance to turn his form around and get the job done. EL SALTO (2) was only 2L off the winner over 1100m here last time out and is at peak fitness now. Amy Jo Hayes' 2kg claim is a big tick and he should get every chance from the inside alley. Racing well and will make his presence felt. ODINAKA (7) drops right back in trip today after going around over 1800m last start at Ascot. He's 26 days between runs and maybe the extra trip wasn't suitable for him. Prior form was very good and he can bounce back. HARMIKA (5) has form around Little Silver from last start and will be flashing home late in the race. MORGS FREEMAN (6) can build on a handy first-up performance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Little Silver can win the last.
