Final placings are Its All About Me 1^st, Midnight Star 2^nd, Wandarra Tess 3^rd and not far away was Crackerjack 4^th.

When the starter dropped the flag all the ponies stepped away with Born To Be Wild (Cameron Jacques) from Little Kizz (Christie Gilbert), Summer Surprise (Cheyenne Moritz) and Chilli Knights (Chantelle Rendall).

Heading in to straight Born To Be Wild still had a handy margin over rest of the field, halfway down the straight Chilli Knights made a late charge at Born To Be Wild but the winning post came up.

Final results: Born to be Wild 1^st, Chilli Knights 2^nd, Little Kizz 3rd and Summer Surprise 4^th.
