This year saw 72 racegoers enter the fashion competition which was then narrowed down to the top 50 before a public vote determined the top 20, top 10 and finally the winners.

@millburgess, dressed in a white spring outfit, has won a $500 Neon Peach voucher, Sharni, dressed in maroon, will receive a $300 voucher, and Heather, dressed in white complimented by black accessories, will take home a $200 voucher.
