Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Starter Allowance

KEEP ON MOVING (8) finished 0.3 lengths from the winner in second in a much better run last time at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Well placed and is a major contender. HANDSOME HERB (3) turned in an eye-catching run over 1006m at Hawthorne (Dirt) last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish second. Strong effort last time and is worth following up. MICHAEL'S COVE (6) finished third last time over 1308m at this track (Dirt), beaten one length. In the right race and is a key runner. EASY DIAL (1) comes here following a win over 1207m at Keeneland four weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths. One of the main contenders.
