Review gowran park 20th Sep

< Jack Naylor lowered the colours of Ballydoyle representatives Easter and Outstanding when taking Group Three honours in the feature race at Gowran Park, the Denny Cordell Lavarack & Lanwades Stud Fillies Stakes.

Jessie Harrington's filly has run some mighty races in defeat at Group One level this summer and claimed a thoroughly deserved success here, sitting handily under Fran Berry before making her move as they turned into the home straight.

The 1-1 favourite soon had Easter for company but found plenty for pressure and was well on top at the finish, winning by a length and three quarters.< Rayisa (11-8 fav) opened her account at the third time of asking when holding off newcomer Best In The World by half a length to land the opening Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden.

Mick Halford's youngster narrowly missed out at Galway last time but made no mistake here, breaking smartly from the gates before knuckling down bravely when challenged by the eventual runner-up who produced a highly promising debut effort.

There was a thrilling finish to the Powerstown Stud Maiden as Spin Point (7-4 fav) got the better of Van Schaick by a short-head.

The pair set down to fight it out at the furlong marker but Jim Bolger's charge showed the benefit of his Galway debut second and just came out on top.< Helen's Armada (7-1) proved three quarters of a length too strong in division one of the Live Music After Racing Handicap while Annie Irish took the second division at odds of 6-1, prevailing by half a length.

Connor King rode a double on the afternoon courtesy of Newsman (14-1), a half a length victor in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden, and Pullman Brown (20-1), a three and a half length winner of the gowranpark.ie Rated Race.
