After the impressive win of Vostok, at Sandown Park, for trainer Peter Moody, the next assignment for the colt is the Magic Millions on the Gold Coast.

He is entitled to run in the race as he has an unblemished record, having won at his only two starts.

The Magic Millions certainly won’t be short on talent, nor should it be expected to be, however, this colt has met the challenges to date and there could be further improvement in him.

Winning form is always good form, when Daniel Stackhouse popped the question the colt gave the immediate answer, there was still plenty left in the tank.

He had improved a lot since his win at the out of town track Kilmore; he stripped in great shape at Sandown and was the pick of the yard.

The favourite, Broadway And First out of the Darren Weir yard, did very little, he got further out his ground than expected, he only ran on fairly but was never a winning chance at any stage.

Vostok is the first foal of his dam, La Biondina, to race; she is a half sister to Mica’s Pride, the dam of Criterion, who meets his next engagement in Hong Kong on Sunday.
