She also had a terrific four race win streak early in her career - the best of which came in the Grade 3 Comely Stakes in November, 2013. Wedding Toast is used to being at or near the top - hopes are that she continues that trend Saturday on a track she's won four of five career starts - with Jose Lezcano guiding the morning line favorite from gate 2.

Curalina 3-1 - Todd Pletcher trained filly has been very good in her six career starts - four wins, a second place and a third place finish.
