Off the mark over 11 furlongs at Lyon-Parilly May 15, Sea Calisi was finishing strongly when a neck second to Kataniya in Chantilly's G3 Prix de Royaumont at this distance at the end of that month and readily reversed that form to reward Martin Schwartz's recent purchase. Settled in behind that rival here as they raced in fifth and sixth early, the bay allowed her first run on the lead but picked up with more acceleration to swamp her passing the furlong pole and assert her influence. “She is definitely an improving filly,” trainer Francois Doumen said. “This is what she had been showing me every morning since her last race, gaining more strength and becoming more fluent in her action. She is a fresh filly and I think she might go for the [Aug. 20] G1 Yorkshire Oaks.”
