In the build up to the Inglis Melbourne Premier Sale at Oaklands Junction, we will pick out three yearlings each day who have had substantial pedigree updates in the past couple of months.
Today, we zero in on a trio of fillies whose credentials have all been boosted by family members posting Group victories since the catalogue went to print.
Lot 15 Smart Missile x Volando – Offered by Erinvale Thoroughbreds
This filly is a half-sister to the multiple South African stakes winner Sir Frenchie (Choisir) and their dam is out of a sister to Roulettes (Flying Spur), winner of the Listed St Albans S. She provided an important update when her daughter Sun City (Zoustar) claimed the G3 BJ McLachlan S. at Doomben.
The family is rich in black type and also features the two-time Group 3 winner Royal Discretion (Royal Academy {USA}) and the Listed Alinghi S. winner Vezalay (Shamardal {USA}).

A half-sister to the Listed Rosemont Stud S. winner Rockalicious (Fastnet Rock), she is a grand-daughter of the three-time Group 1 winner Canny Lass (Bletchingly), who is a sister to the influential stallion Canny Lad.
Esker’s filly has also received significant boosts from family member Eckstein (I Am Invincible), the recent winner of the G3 Southern Cross S., while Bivouac (Exceed And Excel) and Sensei (Dream Ahead) have also added Listed successes to the pedigree page.

Lot 441 Wandjina x She’s A Meteor – Offered by Yarramalong Park
Out of a half-sister to the G2 Tulloch S. winner Fast Clip (Snippetson), this daughter of an unraced Northern Meteor mare hails from the family of Champagne Cuddles (Not A Single Doubt). She recently added the G2 Breeders’ Classic to her record.
Champagne Cuddles is a daughter of the G1 Emirates S. winner Sky Cuddle (Snippets) so there is no lack of quality in this pedigree.
