1Pt Win Crystal Zvezda @ 9/4, British Stallion Studs EBF Lyric Fillies' Stakes

The torrential rain that’s soaked the south of England hasn’t made it’s way north to York this evening, and, with the going still good to firm, Stoute’s Crystal Zvezda can make up for her Oaks flop (10th behind Qualify). She pulled way too hard that day and, dropped in class and trip to her preferred 10F, she can return to her electric best. The 9/4 available is excellent value on her Newbury form with her nearest market rival Pamona – who seems to prefer some cut in the ground – four lengths behind that day.
