A good renewal. OPERA SINGER had 1000 Guineas winner Emalka behind in fourth when runner-up in the Coronation at Royal Ascot and can open her Group 1 account for the year with the step up to 1¼m promising to suit. The longer distance should also be in the favour of Roger Varian's filly and she's second choice ahead of Prix de Diane heroine Sparkling Plenty. Emily Upjohn is pick of the older brigade after her second in the Pretty Polly.
