Avrik De Guez (Jean Pierre Farrugia) and Jaguar Broline (Patrick Spiteri) ended respectively in third and fourth place. Once agin Stormbringer G.R. confirmed that it is one of the most consistent trotters of the 2019 season.

It was the latter which gained its first win in Malta with Zonguldak (Charles Camilleri) and Vitinou (David Attard) also obtaining a good place.
