Connections of Les Fazzani are praying for rain ahead of her bid to register a first Pattern-race success in the bet365 Lancashire Oaks at Haydock on Saturday.
The six-year-old struck gold in Listed company on her latest visit to the Merseyside track, making every yard of the running and repelling Polly's Mark by a head.
Stephen Hillen, racing advisor to owner Dr Marwan Koukash, said: "She's in good form but ideally we could do with a bit of rain as her form shows she is better when the ground is on the soft side."
He added: "She did it well at Haydock the last day and whatever amount of ability she has, she is such a tough filly.
"She hasn't won a Group race yet and obviously that is the next step with her having won a Listed race. She always tries her best and if they do get a bit of cut in the ground I think she'll have every chance."
Les Fazzani is one of 16 entries in the Group Two heat with Polly's Mark due to reoppose.
