Review gowran park 30th Apr
< Somehow overcame trouble in running to stamp her class on the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Victor McCalmont Memorial Stakes at Gowran Park.
Beaten into second on her comeback in the Park Express, Aidan O'Brien's classy filly rose to a more suitable distance and was anchored towards the rear.
The 6-4 favourite made stealthy headway through the field until Seamie Heffernan started to look for room approaching the furlong marker, but a gap came in time and she took full advantage, quickening a length and a quarter clear of Sea Swift < Red Label (4-1) made a victorious start to his career with Jessica Harrington when landing the Gowran Park Festival Of Speed Race for the in-form handler.
The former Luca Cumani inmate travelled all over leaders Brutal and Taj Mahal entering the final furlong and while the latter battled hard, Red Label shaded it by a cosy neck.< Elusive Beauty (11-2) showed her appreciation for the drop to seven furlongs by landing the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap.
Ken Condon's three-year-old was third over a mile at Navan only last Monday but showed no ill effects from those exertions and finished over the top of Midnitemudcrabs to get up by three-quarters of a length.< Bumbasina made a successful return to action in the Summer Evenings At Gowran Park Maiden.
Settled in mid-division by Billy Lee, the Willie McCreery-trained 5-1 chance was brought with her challenge down the centre of the track and although it took a while, she eventually mastered the front-running Treaty Of Vienna to score by half a length.
The money came for Sansibar Jewel prior to the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden but after cutting out the running, she faded into fifth behind the John Oxx-trained Naughty Or Nice (20-1).< Keep Believing s (2-1 favourite) victory in the Gowran Park Golf Open Singles Handicap was his second win in the space of less than a week, while Not A Bad Oul Day (6-1) took the Kilkenny Country Music Festival Handicap.
