How to select Direct Descendants of a Direct Descendant

I am trying to find the direct <tr>'s descendants of a the first direct <table> descendant of the <body>.

I am currently doing the following: 

$("body > table:first > tr")

but this is returning 0 elements.

What would be the correct way to do it?

Note: There are no class or id in any of the elements. ( :( )

For tables, there is another selector between the table and the tr elements: tbody.

So, what you need is this: 

$("body > table:first > tbody > tr")
