Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (Entry of 1-WITHHOLD and 1a-LYRICAL MOMENT) (3-1) - With the late scratches already posted, both halve of this entry are running. 'Withhold' just missed last out at Monmouth and 'Lyrical Moment' is well bred and is stretching out in distance off a troubled and even effort when debuting in a Saratoga grass sprint Aug 12.
2nd pick: #8 (Chase Motto) (5-1) - Grey filly is stretching out in distance and moves from dirt to turf for this attempt. Bred for both, she's working above average, and Castellano stays aboard for Chad Brown. The pair wins at a 29% clip when teamed up.
3rd pick: #2 (Church Social) (5-2) - Blinkers go on $350K daughter of 'Tapit' for her first in almost 2.5 months. Strong finisher is working above average, draws the rail, and she would love a fast and/or contested pace to develop to close into.
4th pick: #3 (Tapit Together) (7-2) - Another daughter of 'Tapit,' she has no early speed but has made up a lot of ground in all five starts. Can factor down the stretch in this spot.
