I’m tempted to walk away because it’s shockingly poor, but Bella Union might have a squeak in this at 20s. He’s a 10-year-old maiden, so that should be enough to put people off, but he’s lightly raced, has had a few snippets of form and all here at Down Royal. He hasn’t run since October, but the snippets he does have have all come off a break. In 4 of his last 5 runs he’s been beaten 10 lengths or less, so you’d imagine he’s going to trouble the judge soon. They backed him into favourite in this very race last year and he finished 5th, beaten 7 lengths. The handicapper has eased him a few more lbs and Cal Miller’s 5 lb will help too. Not one to get carried away with, but I’m willing to have a small poke in a very poor race.
