Exciting filly Black Caviar had her trainer Peter Moody comparing her to former outstanding sprinter General Nediym after she strolled home to win the Arrow Training Services Plate at Moonee Valley.

In his days working as stable foreman in Queensland for former trainer Bill Mitchell, Moody looked after General Nediym who won 13 of his 21 starts.

"In terms of raw ability I've only been involved with probably one similar and that was General Nediym when I worked for Bill Mitchell," Moody said.

During his three-year-old season the colt won the VRC feature sprint double in 1998, the Lightning Stakes (1000m) and Newmarket Hcp (1200m) at Flemington.

Black Caviar has a long way to go to emulate the feats of General Nediym, says Moody, but he was delighted with her effort in maintaining her unbeaten record in three starts which have yielded two Listed race wins.

Sent out the prohibitive $1.20 favourite, the daughter of Bel Esprit sat outside the leader Noesis and cruised past her on the home turn, clearing out to win as she liked by 3-3/4 lengths from Miraculous Miss ($31) with Orbiting Belle ($17) a half-head away third.

"That was painless, she won with her ears pricked. She's got a lot of raw talent," Moody said.

"The pleasing thing was that she went to sleep outside the leader, you worry that these brilliant type of horses might become one-dimensional.

"But I think the way she put her head on her chest and relaxed, you could have sat last on her.

"When they do it easy and she looks to relax, it looks a bit of a game with that type of horse, you always worry the day something does loom up beside you if they go any faster.

"But I've been fortunate enough at home. I haven't had one fast enough to test her there and I'll have to wait a while for it to happen on the racetrack."

Moody said there were a lot of options for the filly, but one definite aim is the Group One Manikato Stakes (1200m) at the Valley night meeting on AFL grand final eve on September 25.

The Caulfield trainer has to decide whether to run her in the Group Two Danehill Stakes (1200m) at Flemington on September 5 or go into the Manikato without another start.

"I would dare to say the A-grade fillies went around last Saturday (in the Quezette Stakes won by Corsaire at Caulfield) so I think she still has a fair few steps to take before we get excited," Moody said.

"But all she can do is win and she's doing a hell of a good job of that at the moment."

Stable jockey Luke Nolen, who was riding Black Caviar for the first time in a race, was quite excited with the filly.

"We got halfway through the second (gear) but she still had a look at the post and she was a bit unsure where she was going," Nolen said.

"If she knew where she was going she might have opened up even further.

"It's a good thing to be on her and not competing against her."
