Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (SEA CALISI) (2-1) - French import is one of three entered in this $500,000 stakes by trainer Chad Brown and they all race as separate betting interests. A Group 2 winner in her native country, she was beaten 6.5 lengths at Royal Ascot in a Group 1 stakes worth $900K in her final start of 2015. Four-year-old looked super when winning a G2 stakes here going 11 furlongs May 7 in her first since then and first in No. America. She should be even better in this spot.
2nd pick: #7 (Guapaza) (6-1) - Mare is another from the barn of Chad Brown. Chilean import finished second to 'Sea Calisi' here May 7 in her second start off an eight month layoff. A major winner in her native country, Brown has her making back-to-back starts for the fist time since July of 2015.
3rd pick: #2 (Dacita) (3-1) - The third horse from the Brown barn, she's another that's been imported from Chile. Mare was a 'neck' better than 'Guapaza' March 5 at Gulfstream, then raced evenly when finishing fourth behind champ 'Tepin' in a G1 at Keeneland April 16. Five-year-old daughter of 'Scat Daddy' completes a very strong hand from trainer Brown.
4th pick: #5 (Photo Call) (4-1) - Irish bred has been on the sidelines since winning the Orchid Stakes (G3) at Gulfstream Park April 2. She's won three of her last five overall and all have been in stakes. Mare appears to have the best shot at breaking up the Brown party of three, but would need a career best if 'Sea Calisi' brings her 'A' game.
