:evil: Elusive Silva drew 12 for the BW 1900 and it won. For the July it is drawn 14, could be 13 ...same jockey on board , top chance to win it IMO

sometimes I think staying at the back in a race like this helps - When you hit the straight you can pick your run - Nothing worse than bunching on the outside rail and you have a horse finishing well but can't get through

Elusive Silva is not without a chance. My concern would be that I have not see Bernard get close to riding at 56,5 kg's in ages. This is not a race you want to put up overweight or have a jockey not at full strength try to get down to the carded weight.

I still am sore over TELLINA and a certain jock riding 1kg over in this race - the difference between second and 3rd(my usual exacta float field) was that 1kg!!!!!

If he really makes the weight then the SIGNAL WILL OUT ....

Remember Bush Telegraph and Garth Puller having to make the weight .....and it won!!!!

Elusive Silva is unlikely to finish ahead of a faster finishing Dark Moon Rising who is 1.5 kgs better off and reported cut into in the Daily News

I am under the impression that Bernard Fayd Herbe rides at 60 and can get down to and has ridden at 59
