The Peter Moody-trained Curtana is on track for a showdown with two other David Moodie-owned fillies, Crystal Lily and Willow Creek, after powering home to win her spring opener at Caulfield.

The rising three-year-old daughter of Exceed And Excel made it two wins from three starts when, with Luke Nolen aboard, she won Saturday's appropriately-named Congratulations Luke Nolen handicap (1000m).

The race honoured Nolen on the last day of the racing season to coincide with his first Melbourne jockeys' premiership.

Nolen said Curtana was very promising and was impressed with the way she went to the line a length ahead of Marmaa and Mr Cool Cat.

"I thought she would be a little bit vulnerable late in the race as I thought they would stick on better than they did," Nolen said.

Moody said Curtana was unlucky not be unbeaten after running second to stablemate Master Harry at her debut in the Listed Streets Stakes (1000m) at Flemington.

"At her first run she ran into a very smart stablemate who I have a lot of time for," Moody said.

"But for that she could have quite easily been unbeaten."

Moody said the Group One Thousand Guineas was a realistic goal for Curtana but is mindful that Moodie already has two horses heading in that directions.

Mathew Ellerton and Simon Zahra train Moodie's Golden Slipper Stakes winner Crystal Lily while Moody prepares Willow Creek who was fourth in the Blue Diamond Stakes, second in the VRC Sires' Produce Stakes and won the Group Two Magic Night Stakes at Rosehill.

Moody said Curtana would only get better as her race distances increased.

"Her racing pattern suggests that 1400 metres or a mile (1600m) in three or four runs time that she's going to be a lovely filly," Moody said.

"Today you probably thought she was in a bit of trouble when the leaders kicked but she has got a turn of foot, the turn of foot of a nice horse, and has a very good pedigree.

"The Thousand Guineas is not unrealistic for her but there are a couple of high-profile ones in the same ownership in Crystal Lily and Willow Creek to contend with."
