Baron De Majuag (Alessandro Grech) was the fastest horse at first, opening a small lead from Antoine Du Bourg (Redent Magro) and Crusoe d’Anama (Charles Camilleri). Grech’s trotter led all the way till the very end and gained its third win of the year by a length and a half from Alinea (Herman McKay) which increased its pace in the final metres.

Crusoe d’Anama and Antoine Du Bourg had to settle for the third and fourth place respectively.

In the class Gold final, favourite Gigant Well (Charles Degiorgio) dashed strongly from the outside during the last 400m and took the lead in the final straight.
