Well-bred filly Typhoon Tracy earned a glowing report from top jockey Glen Boss when she increased her breeding value in leading all-the-way for her first black-type victory in the Kevin Hayes Stakes at Caulfield on Monday.

The Red Ransom filly had raced just once before Monday's race for a five-and-a-half length win in a fillies and mares maiden over 1200 metres at Moonee Valley in September when ridden by Luke Nolan.

But with Nolen, the stable rider for Caulfield trainer Peter Moody, currently suspended, Boss picked up the mount.

"She could have gone half a second quicker if I wanted her to. She has a beautiful action, and I have the feeling she'll be even better once she gets over a mile," Boss said.

"She's just a good feel horse and has really good race sense. She dropped the bit and floated around the bend but when I gave her a backhander she showed a really good turn of foot."

Sent out a $2.50 favourite Typhoon Tracy scored a two-and-three-quarter length victory in the Listed 1200-metre event over Bubble Below ($4.60) with Boogaloo ($10) a half-length away third.

Typhoon Tracy is out of four-time Group One winner Tracy's Element, who was champion two-year-old filly and four-year-old mare in South Africa in 1993 and 1995.

She is a full-sister to 2008 VRC A R Creswick Stakes (1200m) winner Red Element, while stallions Danasinga, Cullen and Towkay also feature in her pedigree.

"She's not that quick a filly, but she's a good, solid filly who goes through her gears and she should handle better races than this," said Jeff O'Connor, stable manager for Moody.

"We're pretty relieved to get that win on the board and the black-type which she needs and now we can pick and choose her races."
