Rodney Lundock's Maryquitecontrary clinched an eye-catching victory when last at Gulfstream Park Jan. 28 in the seven-furlong Inside Information (G2) and she looks to have a repeat Oct. 7 in the $200,000 Princess Rooney Stakes (G3) over the same distance.

Saturday's field of nine fillies and mares will vie for the Breeders' Cup Challenge Series: Win and You're In berth, which gives the winner a fees-paid entry into the $1 million Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint (G1) at Santa Anita Nov. 4.

Transferred to trainer David Fawkes' barn at Gulfstream, the 4-year-old First Dude  filly will seek her sixth straight success over Gulfstream's main track as the 5-2 favorite.

"She's been training great since she's been here," Fawkes said. "Her last work was really good."

BC Racing's Flakes, third runner up in the Gulfstream Park Oaks (G2) April 1; Maryquitecontrary; AMO Racing USA's Olivia Darling; Bluefield, one of three Saffie Joseph Jr. starters; e Five Racing Thoroughbreds' Three Witches, returning from a five-month layoff and last out win Aug. 27; Eddie Kenneally's multiple stakes winner Last Leaf; Rosie's Halo, a three-quarter length runner up to Saturday's favorite in a June 22 allowance race; graded stakes-placed R Adios Jersey, coming into the weekend off an impressive 6 1/2-length victory in the Sheer Drama Stakes; and Poiema, a last out winner Sept. 10 on this oval.
