The ninth race on Saturday, March 21, 2026, is Division Two of an Overnight Allowance call coming down the five straight course.
Nine horses have been nominated to race.
The Quick Galloper’s analysis of the possible outcome is published below.
1 – UNCAPTURED EMPRESS (USA)
Fresh from a victory on February 14 over the straight course, she enters this race in excellent condition. However, the inside draw at number one is rarely advantageous down the straight. With the tongue tie removed, Uncaptured Empress may still find improvement.
2 – TEFLON DON
Returned to racing only six days ago, finishing second though well behind She’s That Girl. With that run under his belt, he should show more, even from the number two post.
3 – SIR DON (USA)
A standout juvenile with three wins from four starts, Sir Don makes his seasonal debut here. Facing older rivals for the first time, he has prepared strongly, clocking one minute over the straight on March 14. He looks primed for a bold effort.
4 – I AM FRED (USA)
Back in action after nearly two years away, last seen on July 13, 2024. Once a dominant ‘A’ Class performer, his past ability would easily outclass this field. At seven years old and returning from such a long break, however, he may struggle against younger, sharper opponents.
5 – THE REAL IDENTITY
Has battled well to reach the Overnight level, where competition is fierce. The challenge remains steep, and further progress will be hard-earned.
6 – JOHNCROWJEFF
Unlikely to feature in the outcome and can be discounted.
7 – UNRULY DON
Showed promise in his first attempt at Overnight. With that experience, a stronger showing is anticipated this time.
8 – DREAM TO REALITY
A local-bred specialist over the five-straight course, having contested his last seven races down the shoot. Drawn well on the outside, Dream To Reality is in a favourable position and deserves serious consideration.
9 – ABREATHOFFRESHAIR
Another local-bred who has earned his place at Overnight Allowance. Proven over the straight course, Abreathoffreshair should deliver a competitive performance especially from the wide draw.
