It was announced earlier this week that three-time Group 1-winning star Arcadia Queen (Redoute's Choice) was supplemented into the Sale and what is already a sensational catalogue has had several more quality additions headed by Nettoyer, who won last year's G1 Doncaster H. and this year's Queen of the Turf S.
She has won $2.5 million in prizemoney in a 42-start career for trainer Wendy Roche which has included seven wins.
Nettoyer was initially slated to go through the ring at the Inglis Chairman's Sale, but instead contested the G2 Hollindale S. at the Gold Coast last Saturday.
She will sell as part of Widden Stud's draft on what will be a blockbuster first day of the National Broodmare Sale on May 25, as part of the race fillies' section, as Lot 717.

Nine lots later, Fiesta, a winner of five races, including the G2 Furphy Sprint, and nearly $1.6 million in prizemoney under the guidance of trainer Chris Waller, will be go through the ring as part of Glenesk Thoroughbreds' draft on behalf of her ownership group, which is managed by Star Thoroughbreds.
Bred by Mike and Debbie O'Donnell of Fairhill Farm, she was a $150,000 buy at the 2017 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale. A measure of the currency of her family was shown when her half-brother by Justify (USA) sold for $300,000 at the Inglis Weanling Sale last week.
Also joining the Sale is the 3-year-old filly Dismissal (Not A Single Doubt), who was third in the G2 Sweet Embrace S. last year and recently broke her maiden. She will be offered by the Newgate Consignment as will G2 Wellington Guineas winner My Gold Bracelet (NZ) (Pins).
First Light Racing will offer I Am Eloquent (I Am Invincible), the Listed winner and multiple stakes placegetter, while Group 3-placed Key (Exceed And Excel), the granddaughter of Champion and multiple Group 1 winner Princess Coup (Encosta De Lago), will be put through by Willow Park Stud.

The major addition to the broodmare section of the Sale is Taste Of Heaven (Encosta De Lago), who was the final foal from the legendary blue hen Shantha's Choice (Canny Lad).
That makes her the sister to Manhattan Rain and half-sister to Redoute's Choice and Platinum Scissors, as well as The Broken Shore (Hussonet {USA}), the dam of Group 1 winner Shoals (Fastnet Rock).
A winner on the track herself, Taste Of Heaven has also produced two winners herself including the Grade 3 victor Heavenly Curlin (USA) (Curlin {USA}).
She is offered by Yarraman Park in foal to I Am Invincible.
Other additions to the catalogue feature mares in foal to the likes of Dundeel (NZ), Fastnet Rock, Pierro and Written Tycoon.
Also on offer will be two shares in Newgate stallion Extreme Choice.
There is one addition to the catalogue for the Magic Millions National Weanling Sale, which will be held on Thursday, May 20 and Friday, 21 May.
A Capitalist colt from the stakes placegetter My Dinah Lee (USA) (Discreetly Mine {USA}) will join the Rothwell Park draft.
