Sixteen rider and horse combinations secured their spot for the jump-off, ten of them clearing the 1m55 high fences. Diniz set the fastest time aboard the Mylord Carthago offspring, winning by more than a second! Martin Fuchs (SUI) steered his Conner Jei (Connor 48) to second place. A strong but above all fast round for Alessandra Volpi (USA) and the nine years old Candy Luck Z (Comme il Faut) put them in third. 

 

Megane Moissonnier (FRA) upheld the French honor riding to fourth place in the saddle of Bracadabra (Pacific des Essarts). On fifth was Great Britain's Scott Brash with Hello Valentino (Diamantino).
