The lightly raced Nurse Kitchen looks a filly of exceptional promise following a barnstorming victory in Saturday's $200,000 Group II P.W. Glass Fillies Classic (1600m) at Moonee Valley.

"She's got a pretty deep pedigree.

Nurse Kitchen is the second live foal of the Montjeu mare Flying Monty, a Flemington winner, who was purchased by Moody as a yearling for $100,000 out of the Chequers Stud draft at the 2005 NZB Premier Yearling sale.

Flying Monty has been a regular visitor to the court of Savabeel but unfortunately she missed in 2014 and slipped in 2015 before being covered by the champion son of Zabeel again last spring.
