The Mitsuru Hashida-trained filly finished second at her lone 2yo start over 1600m at Tokyo racecourse in November.

The daughter of Zoustar had to settle for second again when making her seasonal debut over 1400m at Chukyo on January 8.

Zoustar shuttles to Tweenhills Stud, where Three Island (IRE) was conceived to a covering with the outstanding producer Entreat.

Three Island left the ring unsold at Tattersalls
