Klaravich Stables and William Lawrence's Cloud Computing tuned up for his expected run in the May 20 Preakness Stakes (G1) with a half-mile breeze in :48.85 over the Belmont Park training track May 13.

Under exercise rider Peter Roman, Cloud Computing beat the worst of the rain by coming out just after thetraining track opened at 5:30 a.m. The son of Maclean's Music posted the second fastest drill of 32 moves at the distance.

"He breezed very well, galloped out super, and came back good so far," said trainer Chad Brown. "That's his last piece of work and if he comes out of it well he'll be on to Baltimore on Tuesday."

Unraced as a juvenile, Cloud Computing has made three starts this season, with his most recent outing being a third-place finish in the April 8 Wood Memorial presented by NYRA Bets (G2). The dark bay colt previously ran second to J Boys Echo in the March 4 Gotham Stakes (G3) after he broke his maiden at first asking going six furlongs at Aqueduct Racetrack Feb. 11.

On the opposite coast, fellow Preakness hopeful Term of Art also completed his last serious work before shipping to Baltimore. He worked six furlongs in 1:13 4/5 at Santa Anita Park Saturday.

Calumet Farm's Term of Art is slated to leave Santa Anita May 16 for the middle leg of the Triple Crown. The Doug O'Neill-trained son of Tiznow was most recently seventh in the Santa Anita Derby (G1) but captured the Cecil B. DeMille Stakes (G3) at Del Mar last November.
