Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Allowance

DIVE BOMBER (4) was in the firing line on the bend and progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1408m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Faces an easier assignment so he is likely to play a big role. KAVOD (6) comes here off a last-start sixth, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 1207m at Lone Star Park. Expecting a bold showing. SHARP SWINGER (5) was thereabouts last time out when third over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after he got a long way back in the run. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. One of the better chances. TWO EAGLES RIVER (7) has switched yards since finishing seventh a month ago over 1408m at this track. Sure to make his presence felt.
