1 10 HANG'S DECISION (T262) B Prebble CP/H Settled in front of midfield, 3Ls behind the leader 2 wide with cover, suited by the slow tempo, dashed well to score by 1/2L.
2 9 LYRIC ACE (S047) C Schofield -- Sent forward to take the fence and led at slow pace, kept on strongly until headed by the winner over the last couple of strides.
