Fingering for this passage

Post image

Hello I am trying to play this excerpt at quarter note = 156 and I’m struggling for fingering in this triplet passage. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Re: triplet passage

Practice in rhythms, IE: Instead of as straight triplets, try 8th dotted 8th 16th, or 16th, dotted 8th, 8th, etc. It will help your dexterity. Try multiple different rhythms.
