The next pair was Spain's Juan Manuel Munoz Diaz riding the PRE stallion Fuego XII who have also  had a spectacular  competition.  His ride, to appropriately latin music, featured a line of one handed tempi changes in perfect time with the music.  He ended with a long line of passage, again one-handed, to a standing ovation from the crowd which sent Fuego bouncing a bit which Munoz Diaz was ecstatic with pride for his horse.  He was scored 81.450 which was not enough according to the crowd.  

Then it was Edward Gal and Totilas' turn.  It took a little while for the  crowd to calm down from their disapproval of Munoz Diaz's score.  Expectations were extremely high and even with a couple of bobbles (a break into the canter from extended trot), he still pulled out a 91.80% to launch well into the lead.  There was absolute silence even with the packed stadium as they waited for the score.

Steffen Peters with Ravel had to follow Gal and even with the enthusiastic welcome from the home crowd, the tension was palpable.  Peters used his Rolling Stones music which suits Ravel well.  His score of 84.90 put them into the Bronze medal position.

Imke Schellekens-Bartels and Hunter Douglas Sunrise finished the evening with an 82.10% and fourth place.
