Opera Singer (1/1), Brilliant (16/5), Shelaka (7/2), Kalispera (8/1), Peggy O'neil (20/1), Straya (33/1), Vive Veuve (66/1)

Aidan O'Brien looks to hold a strong hand here and his improving Justify filly OPERA SINGER is fancied to edge out stablemate Brilliant in an intriguing Group 3 contest. Kalispera is another with better days ahead of her who needs considering along with the unexposed Shelaka.
