< Rummaging landed the feature race at Gowran Park on Tuesday, the Gowran Festival Of Speed July 11th and 12th Handicap.
It was a smart performance from the seven-year-old who was conceding upwards of 5lb to his rivals, a few of whom came into this in better form.
He was given a patient ride by Conor McGovern who was happy to look on in the early exchanges as Texas Rock took no prisoners from the front and the 7-1 winner quickly asserted once in the clear, going on to record a three quarters of a length success.< Turret Rocks looks to be a filly with a bright future having made an impressive winning debut in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.
The 15-8 winner is far from the finished article having wandered about on the way to disposing of well-backed 1-1 favourite True Solitaire by two lengths but she clearly possesses plenty of ability and is held in high regard by trainer Jim Bolger.
The two market leaders matched strides for a long way but it was Bolger's daughter of Fastnet Rock who quickened up best at the two furlong pole and despite looking a little green in the closing stages, the Moyglare Stud Stakes entry was always in command and appears set for a step up in class now.< Dawn Mirage gained a deserved first career success when getting off the mark in the Go Racing In The South East Maiden.
Always to the fore, the 2-1 favourite produced a telling change of gear when given the office by Wayne Lordan and only had to be kept up to his work in order to see off debutant Peace Mission by two and a half lengths.< Enough Is Enough (11-1) stepped up on her recent form when holding Rockview Emperor by half a length in the Hens & Stags Silver Package From 19 Euro Apprentice Handicap while 16-1 shot Almadaa produced a brave front-running display to take the BBQ Evening Wednesday August 12th Handicap by a length and a quarter.
