The Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival continued to provide racing fans with thrilling action on the track, as the Doomben Racecourse came to life for the Kirks Doomben Cup Day, with the $175,000 Group 3 Doomben Roses (2020m) a feature.
The 2010 Doomben Roses saw Marheta take out the full field of fillies to claim the top spot and saw off arch rival Femina Fashion.
Jumping just before 2pm, the 2010 Doomben Roses saw Marheta take out the full field of fillies to claim the top spot and saw off arch rival Femina Fashion.
The duo have finished in the top two spots for their last two runs, although Saturday saw barrier one starter Marheta take the glory by three-quarters of a length.
A further three-quarter of a length behind Femina Fashion was Dariana, who had been tipped as the favourite to win prior to the race.
All three look to continue their stint at the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival in the Group 1 Queensland Oaks (2400m) on the 5th of June.
Also taking place on Saturday alongside the 2010 Doomben Roses was the headlining Group 1 Doomben Cup (2020m) which saw Metal Bender claim the win, the Group 2 Champagne Classic (1200m) and the Group 3 Lord Mayor’s Cup (1615m).
