Colin Keane brought up his Gowran Park double when steering home Enough Is Enough in Division two of the mile handicap.

The nine-year-old mare raced towards the rear but got a lovely run through on the inner entering the straight.

The 9/1 shot was ridden to lead a furlong and a half down and powerfully strode away in the final furlong to put three lengths on 50/1 outsider Maritime Law Lady Ranger completed the placings in third at 11/1. She was beaten three and a half lengths by the winner.

Local trainer Paddy Meany said: “She likes it around here. She doesn't seem to like anywhere else so we'll keep her here!

“Colin said she loved that ground. I'll look for something similar. We'll keep to the low class and try and win another one or two before the end of the season.”

This was Enough Is Enough's third career victory, all coming at Gowran Park.
