She and Damarusa were the only clear rounds of the 10 starters and with Forest II she was the fastest of the three on four faults.

Katie McVean took out the young rider class on Dunstan Hairy McLairy as well as placing sixth on Britten in the same event and featuring in fifth place in the super league with Hairy McLairy.
