Our Joan Of Arc has already ticked one of the major boxes in trainer Clarry Conners' bid for a fifth Golden Slipper.

The dual stakeswinner's earnings of $216,500 assure her of a start in the $3.5 million race at Rosehill on April 4, taking a little of the pressure off her trainer.

The filly is back at Conners' Warwick Farm stable after a short break following her win in the Maribyrnong Plate at Flemington on November 1.

"She's put on 35 kilos, she looks super and I couldn't be happier," Conner said.

"There is not so much pressure because she has earned the prizemoney so we don't have to rush her.

"She won't be struggling to get into the Slipper so we can take her along as we want."

Our Joan Of Arc cost just $15,000 at the Inglis Classic Sale and recouped that and more with a winning debut in the Gimcrack Stakes on October 4.

She started favourite at her second start, the Inglis Juvenile at Moonee Valley three weeks later, but barrier one proved to be her undoing as she struggled for clear running and finished fifth.

Her win at Flemington down the straight was comprehensive with Zaffan three lengths second.

The two-year-old races begin in earnest on February 7 wit the Canonbury and Widden Stakes at Rosehill.

That date has been pencilled in as the possible return for Our Joan Of Arc's stablemate Glowlamp in the Light Fingers Stakes.

The three-year-old was a somewhat more expensive purchase at $1.4 million and has earned the tag of Australia's best maiden with seven placings from 13 starts including third to Gallica in the Thousand Guineas.

Unfortunately for Glowlamp she was born in the same year as Samantha Miss who dominated her age group in the spring as well as performing creditably for third in the weight-for-age Cox Plate.

"Glowlamp has grown a heap and looks great," Conners said.

"She didn't have a long spell but she did very well during it.

"The Oaks is the plan via all the usual fillies races but I wish we didn't have to run into Samantha Miss all the time.

"Perhaps we can turn the tables."

Two of Glowlamp's other placings came when second in the Silver Shadow Stakes and third in the Tea Rose with the Kris Lees-trained Samantha Miss winning both as part of her clean sweep of the four-race Princess Series.
