The recent form tells a story of a horse hovering around the placings without quite breaking through. In the last six races, Royale Union has finished 2nd, 7th, 10th, 4th, 2nd, and 3rd. That's two seconds and a third in the past six outings, which means the horse is competitive on its day but has not yet found the winning formula. At this age and stage, with three top-3 finishes already on the record, Royale Union remains capable of getting off the mark—but the pressure is building. Seven races without a win is not unusual for a young horse, but the fact that it keeps finishing just out of the money, rather than running poorly, suggests potential is still there to be unlocked.
