Second quickest was defending champion and current Australian Off-Road Championship leader Daniel Milner aboard the CDR Yamaha YZ250F E1 entry, 3.759 seconds in arrears of Hollis.

Current Enduro Junior World Championship leader Matthew Phillips completed the top three for Husqvarna Racing, just one second shy of Milner. Former world champion Stefan Merriman (CDR Yamaha) was next best, while second Husqvarna entry Glenn Kearney filled the top five.

Leading Women’s rider was world title front-runner Jessica Gardiner aboard her Ballard’s Motorex Off-Road Team Sherco in 55th position Outright.
