With her 11-year-old KWPN stallion and total of 68.000 %, the girl from Spain was able clearly to beat Anne Sophie Aaen (DEN). The Danish rider came third yesterday, while today she scored 67.698 % and came second with Schambuka Soelyst. The third place went to the winner of the CDIU25 kick-off test, Danielle Van Mierlo (NED) who, with her Metall offspring Ucento, achieved 67.512 %.

Best Austrian rider was Tatjana Svehla (NÖ/Lower Austria) with her Hanoverian gelding Donaublick and 63.953 %, ranking eighth. Manuel Springhetti (W) with Donnerbube Junior and 63.419 % came ninth and Nicole Osterwald (NÖ) on Angelo came eleventh with 57.744%.
