Soft ground will be no hindrance to improving filly

No. 8

4.45 Goodwood
1pt win at 13-2 generallyGoodwood punters are probably going to have to put up with a lot of Rule 4 if the rain set to arrive is as heavy as persistent as forecast, but it won't matter so much to Titi Makfi.

Mark Johnston's progressive filly failed to make it five in a row in a hot handicap at Newmarket's July meeting, but she got a bit far back there and never really started to get going until hitting the rising ground.

She wasn't beaten far in the end, though, doing her best work at the finish on that fast ground, and she had earlier been impressive when beating today's favourite White Chocolate on an easy surface at Chester.
