Though Hail Mary, with Ôrjan Kihlström, was parked outside leading Click Bait, with Per Lennartsson, for most of the trip, Hail Mary fought bravely to win in 1:53f followed by a fast-finishing Milliondollarrhyme with Fredrik B. Larsson and Click Bait.

Hail Mary, who is trained by Daniel Redén, has the Elitlopp as his main target; last year Hail Mary finished second to Etonnant in the race.
