Importees Clash In Race 7 – Monday, April 6, 2026

2026 3 Year Olds PURPLE

The seventh race on Monday, April 6, 2026, is reserved for imported three-year-olds making their local debut, alongside locally bred maiden three-year-olds.

Six runners have been nominated to contest the six-furlong event. Of the six, five are overseas-bred, with one local contender.

Below is The Quick Galloper’s assessment of the likely outcome.

1 – ARMY TANK (USA)

Chestnut colt (April 14) by Army Mule out of Castinette Dancer

Trainer – Peter-John Parsard

Jockey – Dane Dawkins

Army Tank has been turning heads with sharp morning drills. His latest gallop on March 31 over 5 ½ furlongs was timed at 1:07.0, suggesting readiness for a strong debut. With his pedigree and preparation, expectations are high that he will deliver on raceday.

2 – IMJUSTAGIRL (USA)

Bay filly (April 3) by Girvin out of Summer In Midway

Trainer – Jason DaCosta

Jockey – Robert Halledeen

Equipment – Lasix

Observers report that Imjustagirl has shown blistering speed in her exercise spins. On March 30, she clocked 1:06.0 over 5 ½ furlongs, a time that puts her among the leading contenders. Still, as punters know, morning gallops don’t always translate to raceday success. Her debut will reveal whether she can carry her speed under pressure.

3 – BRODY’S UNITY (USA)

Bay colt (February 15) by Brody’s Cause out of Bagatelle Park

Trainer – Alford Brown

Jockey – Christopher Mamdeen

Brody’s Unity has three starts under his belt but has yet to show winning potential. His performances so far suggest he may struggle against the sharper imports in this field. Improvement is needed if he is to factor in the finish.

 4 – PUROSANGUE (USA)

Chestnut colt (February 24) by Made From Lucky out of Rimanisempreforte

Trainer – Jason DaCosta

Jockey – Clive Lynch

Equipment - Figure 8, Lasix

Purosangue enters for his debut with solid preparation, though he appears to be playing second fiddle to his stablemate Imjustagirl. His exercise efforts have been encouraging, but at this stage, he seems more of a supporting act. Raceday will determine whether he can step out of the shadows.

5 – UNBELIEVABLE POWER (USA)

Chestnut filly (April 6) by Accelerate out of Fastest Spin

Trainer – Philip Feanny

Jockey – Ian Spence

Unbelievable Power has already raced twice, finishing second on both occasions. That experience could prove decisive against debutants. She has shown consistency and determination, and with further improvement, she could finally break through for her maiden victory.

6 – UNCLE NALLY (JAM) Bay colt by Successful Native out of Kit De Luca

Trainer – Robert Pearson

Jockey – Tevin Foster

Equipment – Figure 8

The lone locally bred runner, Uncle Nally, is also the most experienced with six starts. Despite his familiarity with the track, he has yet to show the class needed to challenge the imports. While his grit is commendable, he is not expected to be a major factor in this contest.
