GUYNO AND AMELIA'S REASON SET TO RESUME

Two of the stables star performers from last season are set to resume racing at Belmont on Saturday. Both Guyno and AMELIA'S REASON will make their return to the race track in what will hopefully end up being very successful campaigns for both horses.

GUYNO has been earmarked for an Eastern States campaign for quite a while and I am confident that when he gets there, he will acquit himself every bit as good as some of the other more publicised Western Australian horses heading east this year. Guyno will race this weekend, then he may run again in the Farnley Stakes or we may head straight across with him. While being in good order for his return on Saturday, there is no doubt that his performances will continue to improve as he steps up in distance throughout this preparation. Guyno has matured and developed considerably since he last raced in the Pinjarra Cup and it would not surprise if this proves to be his best season of racing.

AMELIA'S REASON was brought back into work a bit sooner than we first expected to, mainly to get him in and out of the harsh winter weather. Unless a 3yo is a genuine Guineas contender, there is not a lot on offer for them until December and then into the new year. I am not convinced that he is a genuine 1600m horse and so for that reason we will aim at winning some stake money for his huge syndicate of owners in the early season shorter races as we assess just how well the horse has come back.

As we all know, a lot of horses struggle to make the transition from 2yo to 3yo and likewise 3yo to 4yo. It all depends on there mental attitude and how they have matured mentally and physically. I do know that if I can get him back to where he was before he injured himself in the barriers leading into the Karrakatta Plate last season, it will take a very smart horse to beat him.At this stage we will let him tell us exactly where he is at.
