Peter Moody was happy to talk about the staying potential of Monteux after the colt's narrow win at Caulfield but would not comment on his upcoming appearance before stewards over the ongoing cobalt saga.

Moody is one of five trainers in Victoria, along with Danny O'Brien, Mark Kavanagh and the training partnership of Lee and Shannon Hope, who have been charged with cobalt offences by Racing Victoria.

The five will front Racing Victoria stewards on Wednesday to show cause why they should not be stood down until the hearings and determinations of the charges.

The Moody-trained Lidari returned a cobalt level above the allowed threshold of 200 micrograms per litre in urine in a sample taken after his second in the Group One Turnbull Stakes last spring.

Last week Moody spoke publicly in a radio interview of his disappointment at being charged with administration of a prohibited substance and vowed to fight the charges.

The Hopes have had dates set for their hearing in front of the Racing Appeals and Disciplinary Board which will commence on October 15, but no hearing dates have been set for Moody, O'Brien or Kavanagh.

Moody prepared his 72nd metropolitan winner for the season in Melbourne when three-year-old Monteux came from the second half of the field to win the Ascend Sales Trophies Handicap on Saturday, holding off the late charge of Ginali by a half-head.

"He's just got great lung capacity and always indicated he had the ability, he just had to apply himself," Moody said.

"I think he's got a good staying race in him down the track. He's going to be a lovely four-year-old."
