| Andrew Nicholson on Fenicio did a lovely careful round, only marred by coming rather onward bound into the double and paying with the front rail of the 'B' oxer. Finished well within the time. |
Dan Jocelyn on Silence rattled quite a few but most stayed put. Fence three fell and the middle part of the final treble. They took a stride out between fences 9 and 10 versus everyone else and that helped get them the fastest time of the day they were the only pair under 80 seconds when the time allowed was 85 seconds. |
Kate Lambie on Nufarm Alibi at the final part of the treble. They did a great round, just having the first fence in an otherwise perfect round. |

| Heelan Tompkins on Classic Hits Crusada started rather nervously, having the first fence and the third, having totally missed the stride. However, they then settled and jumped a beautiful round, just rolling the middle of the final treble. |

| John Williams on Carrick unfortunately had the first two fences down, followed by the first part of the treble and then the final Liverpool. They just did not seem to have that 'spring' today. |

Kim Vinoski on Winsome Adante looked tired and lacked a bit of the energy we saw on cross-country day. The pair had three rails but went under time. |

| Gina Miles on McKinlaigh got in quite deep at her fences, but it seemed to work for her. JUmped a beautiful clear with just two time faults. |
Darren Chiacchia and RGS Renegrade had fences 3 and 4 and then rode forward more but that did not seem to help as they had 9 rials in all with 6 time faults. |
