In the Portuguese Vilamoura, a ladies class was scheduled for the evening. 27 lady riders entered the show ring in this 1,35m class. Eventually it was the fast British rider Jessica Mendoza who appeared to be the best after two rounds. She and Ramiro de Belle Vue jumped two clear rounds. She also jumped a very fast second round in 35,03 seconds. With this time, she beat the Belgian Celine Schoonbroodt-De Azevedo who ended on second place with Amerigo. They jumped a clear second round as well, and finished in 36,65 seconds. The American Katherine A. Dinan completed the top three. She rode Ulpi de Brekka to the finish line in 40,88 seconds.

Only the top three kept the zero on the score board. Emily Moffit jumped a very fast second round, but got two jumping penalties. Because of that, she and Thalis de La Roque had to take peace with fourth place. Smantha Mcintosh and Lady Gaga 18 completed the top five.
