After this stage they will return to the same venue on 10 December for the last stage that is the acceptance stage.

Once the acceptance stage is done with the battle lines drawn, all participating teams will return to their respective stables to sharpen their swords and strategise for the last time in preparation of the race day.

There is $7 000 in stakes money for taking away by the winner and selected placed the three-placed runners up.
