WESTERN MUSIC should get back to winning ways in the Play 4 To Win At Betway Classified Stakes (3.30) at Southwell.
The David Barron-trained daughter of Epaulette got off the mark at the ninth attempt with a length-and-a-quarter defeat of Rhubarb in a course-and-distance handicap at the start of last month.
Western Music failed in the follow-up attempt when fourth, again over six furlongs, to Million Reasons at Newcastle 17 days
My selection didn’t get the breaks when attempting to come from the back that evening, however, and should make amends back at a venue where she has yet made the podium on all three visits.
At Newcastle, AMASOVA has plenty going for her in the Read Katie Walsh On Betway Insider Handicap (7.30).
The daughter of Pivotal drew a blank in her first 16 races, of which 12 were on the all-weather.
But Amasova came good in a Wolverhampton handicap on her penultimate outing, coming home strongly to hold Mick's Spirit by half a length.
Alice Haynes' filly came home strongly to take third after blowing the start at Chelmsford City last time out, but should give another account from the same mark for a yard that is going well.
