Murlens Slippy impressed in round two recording 30.33, Kyle Jack won again but Tico had to settle for second place behind Bog Lighter.

[5] Tico continued to impress in the semi-finals setting a time of 30.06, just three spots off the track record with Heres Negrow six lengths behind.

Kyle Jack and Murlens Slippy both won yet again and remained unbeaten with victories over Margaos Express and Carters Lad respectively in their semi final heats.

[5] Tico was installed the strong 4-5 favourite for the final but after a poor start the dream of an English-Irish double faded, Murlens Slippy was also slow away leaving Kyle Jack to win by three lengths.
