Salisbury Tips: Ficelle
Her best form is on soft ground and with heavy rain forecast conditions could turn in her favour.
Heavy rain showers are forecast at Salisbury during the afternoon and that could dramatically change the ground before the evening meeting kicks off.
Currently the ground is good to firm, good in places but if the deluge arrives then don’t be surprised to see the word ‘soft’ creep into the description.
If that happens then Ficelle comes into the reckoning for the 6.40 contest. Last season her record over 6f on ground with ‘soft’ in the description was: 16252, with the last of those defeat by a short-head.
Her Racing Post Ratings over the same period were: 62-49-68-65-68. The only flop was on her second race, when she didn’t handle the track at Brighton.
Racing off a mark of 59, she is well handicapped if the rain comes and she gets her optimum conditions.
