Review gowran park 24th Sep Flowers Of Spring gave trainer Andrew Oliver his first Group-race success as she landed the feature Denny Cordell Lavarack & Lanwades Stud Fillies Stakes at Gowran Park.Wearing blinkers for the first time, the four-year-old didn't get away well and was settled in behind by Chris Hayes as eventual third Hurricane Havoc took them along.The 11-2 shot swept into the lead down the outside entering the final quarter-mile and she was kept up to her work to hold Zaminast's late bid by three-quarters of a length.The Augustine Leahy-trained Danequest (8-1) had to pull out all the stops to beat the gallant Outback in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Nursery.Outback, who attempted to make all, looked a sitting duck coming down the straight, but he fought all the way to the line and Shane Foley just edged Danequest in front close home for victory by a head.Akeed Wafi, a half-brother to St James's Palace Stakes winner Zafeen, stepped forward from his debut run at Leopardstown last month to win the first division of the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden in taking style.John Oxx's juvenile (11-4) travelled well into the straight on the heels of the leaders and when Niall McCullagh found a nice gap he took charge to score by two lengths.Aidan O'Brien's newcomer Tibet (3-1) ran green in the closing stages but edged out favourite Amhrasach by a head in the second division under the trainer's son Joseph.There were some serial losers in the Gowran Park Golf & Leisure Maiden and they were found out by Dermot Weld's filly Solar Verde (7-1), who secured the rails berth under Pat Smullen and held favourite Glor Na Mara by a length and a half.Words Of Wisdom looked to have snatched the Gowran Racing Festival Next Weekend Handicap when he led well inside the final furlong, but Kevin Manning conjured a renewed bid from Do The Bosanova (14-1) and Jim Bolger's filly got up by a nose.
