In Rotterdam's Ranking class the jumps were set at 1.50m height. It was a close call between Daniel Deusser and Kevin Staut but eventually Germany's Deusser set the record time aboard his 12-year-old Casall-son, Casalllvano.
In less than 0,1 seconds difference, France's Staut followed as runner-up with Blackonda (Kannan). Sweden's Angelie von Essen completed the stage aboard Cochella (Cartani 4).
Earlier McLain Ward impressed with a win, this time the American show jumping rider guided his Kasper van het Hellehof (Emerald) to the fourth place. Beat Mändli and Dsarie (Veron) completed the top five.
