In the build up to the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale, we have picked out three yearlings who have had substantial pedigree updates in the past couple of months.
Today, a filly by Shalaa (Ire) rides on the back of some good results from her 2-year-old half-brother, a colt by I Am Invincible also gets a kick along with some 2-year-old stakes wins from a family member, and a mare in the form of her life boosts the prospects of her half-sister by Written Tycoon.
Lot 54 - Shalaa (Ire) x Rough Ride (Flying Spur) - On Account of Segenhoe Stud
This filly's family got a timely update when her half-brother Kalashnikov (Capitalist) won the G3 Black Opal S. and he contested the G1 Golden Slipper S. on Saturday. Another extended family member, Forever Free (Exceed And Excel), was a recent Moonee Valley winner.
It's already a page with plenty of black type, with this filly's dam Rough Ride, a half-sister to G1 Queensland Derby winner Eagle Way (More Than Ready {USA}) as well as stakes-winning trio Assertive Eagle (Danewin), Impressive Eagle (Rubiton) and Soaressa (Twining {USA}).

Lot 305 - I Am Invincible x Final Agreement (Not A Single Doubt) - On Account of Emirates Park
The currency of this colt's pedigree has been enhanced by the performances of his 2-year-old half-sister Enthaar (Written Tycoon) this season. She won the G3 Gimcrack S. in October and also claimed the G3 Chairman's S. since this catalogue went to print.
Their dam, Final Agreement, is a sister to Group 1-winning mare Secret Agenda, who has her own I Am Invincible colt in the Sale, in Lot 71, making him a three-quarter brother to Lot 305. Three other siblings of Final Agreement, Stellar Pauline (Not A Single Doubt), Donandkim (Smart Missile) and Sweetener (Snitzel) are stakes placegetters.

Lot 433 - Written Tycoon x Missy Cummings (Magnus) - On Account of Bhima Thoroughbreds
This filly's half-sister Mizzy (Zoustar) has been in career-best form this campaign running second in both the G1 Canterbury S. and the G1 Coolmore Classic. She is already a three-time stakes winner. Abseiler (Extreme Choice), who also features on the page, was a Melbourne 2-year-old winner this season and placed fourth in a recent stakes race.
Listed winner Missy Cummings is the dam of this filly and she is a daughter of Lady Knockout (Serheed {USA}), who won three stakes races. She is one of three Listed winners out of Group 2 victress Prime Again (Marooned {GB}).
