Unbeaten mare Typhoon Tracy will kick off her Cox Plate campaign with her first test at weight-for-age in the Group Two Liston Stakes after a rousing track gallop at Caulfield.

Trainer Peter Moody also nominated the four-year-old for Saturday's Group Three Cockram Stakes (1200m) for mares at Caulfield but was keen to give her the chance of making the Liston her sixth win.

"She worked strongly on the course proper at Caulfield this morning (Tuesday) and pulled up well," Moody told radio station Sport 927.

"She has probably matured a bit more than last campaign and I think the tempo of the 1400 metres will suit her better than 1200 metres first-up."

A three-time stakeswinner, Typhoon Tracy hasn't raced since overcoming a wide gate to win the Group One Coolmore Classic (1500m) at Rosehill on March 21.

Glen Boss rode Typhoon Tracy in the Coolmore but stable jockey Luke Nolen will take the reins for the fourth time in the Liston.

Moody has nominated Typhoon Tracy for the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups but said the Cox Plate was the race he was aiming at with the mare.

"Her preparation will be aligned towards that," Moody said.

"I am very confident she will run a strong mile (1600m) but whether she gets beyond that I am not sure."

TAB Sportsbet has her at $18 for the Cox Plate (2040m).

The Mick Price-trained Cox Plate hopes Gallica ($41) and Heart Of Dreams ($18) are also ready to resume in the Liston, a race Price has won in two of the last three years with Pompeii Ruler (2006) and Light Fantastic (2008).

A dual Group One winner of the Thousand Guineas and Australasian Oaks, Gallica hasn't raced since finishing eighth to Daffodil in the AJC Australian Oaks (2400m) at Randwick in April.

Heart Of Dreams has won four of his eight starts and rounded out his autumn campaign with wins in the Group One Australian Guineas (1600m) and Group Two Phar Lap Stakes (1500m).

New Zealander Red Ruler has been in Melbourne for five weeks preparing for his first run in the Liston since cracking his hip when eighth in the Chipping Norton Stakes (1600m) at Randwick on March 7.

Trainer John Sargent said Red Ruler was 85 per cent fit and that he was aiming him at the Caulfield Cup after he finished sixth in the race last year.
