Scheduled Post is 4:46 p.m. for the $60,000 Margate Stakes, tenth and feature race at Gulfstream.
It is seven furlongs on dirt for 3-year-old fillies that have never won a stakes race.
Banree, who is dropping down from graded stakes, likely will be favored. If she had been racing at this level, she probably would have had at least one win.
Banree has a stalking style, and should get a clean trip from post eight in the nine-horse field.
Here are three others to consider for the exacta box:
Sugar Cone (1) -- finished second behind future star Off the Tracks in a 6 1/2 furlong stakes called the Margate back in March. She should be gaining at the end. Joe Bravo rides for trainer George "Rusty" Arnold.
Bodacious Babe (9) -- from the barn of high percentage trainer Jane Cibelli. This filly has stakes experience, speed and the clear outside post. Nik Juarez will ride.
Empyrea (3) -- Speedster won three in row, two turf and one synthetic at Woodbine before shipping in and winning her dirt preview for new trainer Angel Medina.
Mo Green (7) -- also should be running late, with Paco Lopez riding for Joe Orseno.
Suggestion 1 3 8 9 exacta box
Win and Show 8
Place and Show 1
