This morning not only the 1.35m CSI2* combinations battled it out, also the 5 and 6-year-old horses took the start. Again it was Jens Vandenberk and the Cassiro-mare Cincenetty GJ Z who took the win. After a finish in 56.42 seconds the combination was about one second faster as Germany's Jens Wawrauschenk and Coupe de Candilla (by Coupe de Coeur). Joke Mardaga completed the stage with Fiesta (by Mozart des Hayettes).
