The battle between Lee Freedman and David Hayes with their juveniles continues at Sandown on Friday when they come up against each other in the Shame Plate with Colour and Nasemah respectively.

The Freedman stable's two-year-olds, looked after by Anthony Freedman, are having a good season with 10 winners of 11 races from 20 to race including stakeswinning fillies Exceedingly French and Come Hither.

The Hayes stable has had nine winners of nine two-year-old races.

On Friday, the Freedman team will saddle up the Sheikh Mohammed-trained first starter Colour, a $1.6 million Sydney Easter Yearling Sale purchase, while the Hayes stable will be represented by Nasemah who cost $290,000 at the New Zealand Premier Yearling Sale and is owned by Sheikh Hamdan's Shadwell Stud.

Exceed And Excel filly Nasemah has an experience edge on her five unraced rivals having had one start for a 3-1/4 length second to the Freedman-trained Mrs Kipling over 1013m at Mornington on January 16.

Craig Williams takes the mount on Nasemah who drew the outside barrier in the 1000m event.

Colour, by Golden Slipper winner Sebring's sire More Than Ready, is from the same family as Golden Slipper winner Forensics, Golden Slipper runner-up Zizou, Snippets and Rewaaya.

She ran an encouraging three-length second to the unraced Exceed And Excel filly Essaouira in a Cranbourne 800m barrier trial on October 13.

A half-length back third in that trial was Exceedingly French who has since won both her race starts including the Listed St Albans Stakes (1200m) at Moonee Valley on December 27.

Colour, drawn in barrier five, will be ridden by Dwayne Dunn who currently leads the Melbourne jockeys' premiership with 34 winners following a double at Caulfield on Monday.

He leads Craig Williams and Damien Oliver by two.

The two fillies take on four unraced colts or geldings, two of whom are prepared by Peter Moody, Encosta De Lago colt Encosta Belief and Show A Heart gelding Seventh Heart.

Freedman's only other runner at Sandown is Redoute's Choice three-year-old colt Dancefloor Prodigy, also to be ridden by Dunn, who resumes in the Burrabil Hcp (1000m).

Hayes has the filly Exedra, also by Redoute's Choice, engaged in that event.

Freedman is currently the leading Victorian trainer in the metropolitan area with 38 winners, four clear of Hayes.

The Hayes stable will saddle up six runners in five races on the seven-race program.

Freedman's very promising filly Come Hither resumes in Saturday's Listed Talindert Stakes (1100m) at Flemington.

A daughter of Redoute's Choice who cost $1.1 million as a yearling, Come Hither won the Listed Debutants Stakes (1000m) at Caulfield last spring following a third to Our Joan Of Arc in the Gimcrack Stakes (1000m) at Randwick at her debut.
