PERFECT IN GRAY
Trainer: John Sadler
Last race: May 10, 6th
Finish: 7th by 18 1/2
Beyer: 27
Dirt-to-turf experiment backfired for filly who romped in main-track debut. Set pace inside in turf sprint, was uncomfortable, chucked it. Draw a line through this, follow when returns to dirt.

SOHO
Trainer: John Sadler
Last race: May 11, 3rd
Finish: 2nd by head
Beyer: 78
Stakes-placed filly ran well in turf-sprint comeback. Sped to lead, cruised along, nailed by late-runner. Lightly raced 3-year-old can run long. This was a solid start to her campaign.

BEAU SOLEIL
Trainer: Bob Hess Jr.
Last race: May 11, 4th
Finish: 4th by 7 3/4
Beyer: 40
Class dropper lost all chance when she tossed her head and broke last in sprint for 3-year-old fillies. Claimed for $32,000 by Hess from Jorge Periban. Fits vs. similar company with clean start.

WHAT A DUDE
Trainer: Doug O’Neill
Last race: May 11, 7th
Finish: 4th by 1/2
Beyer: 72
Gelding sped to lead racing mile and one-eighth on turf, opened five-length lead on fast pace, led to deep stretch, weakened in a good try. Wants shorter vs. non-winners two claiming rivals.

IVAN THE GREAT
Trainer: Doug O’Neill
Last race: May 12, 2nd
Finish: 2nd by nose
Beyer: NA (4 1/2 furlongs)
Debut 2-year-old broke well, was pushed along and then shuffled into turn. He rallied wide, raced greenly, kicked, and missed. Solid debut by Kantharos colt, who should be tough in second career start.

MOONLIGHT TRYST
Trainer: David Hofmans
Last race: May 12, 6th
Finish: 2nd by nose
Beyer: 62
Debut 4-year-old filly broke well but lacked sprint speed and trailed. She rallied wide, was a bit green, put in a steady finish outside, and missed. This was a solid debut by Cal-bred daughter of American Pharoah.
