Wedding Toast makes her Grade One debut in the Madison Stakes over seven furlongs on dirt at Keeneland, USA, on Saturday, April 4.
The Kiaran McLaughlin-trained five-year-old kept on to come home third in the mile Grade Three Rampart Stakes at Gulfstream Park on February 21.
She made a winning seasonal return at the same course on January 7 with a game length and a quarter success in the non-graded Miami Shores Handicap over seven furlongs.
Wedding Toast was second in the mile non-graded Cat Cay Stakes at Aqueduct on her only start of 2014 and previously posted four straight wins, culminating with narrow success in the Grade Three Comely Stakes over nine furlongs at Aqueduct in November, 2013.
Kiaran McLaughlin said: "Wedding Toast ran on a deep and tiring track in the Rampart Stakes last time out, when she had a tough trip round. We expect her to run better this time, although it's a Grade One contest and therefore a tough race.
"She has been training great and this is a good trip for her."
Wedding Toast, with regular jockey Jose Lezcano on board, takes on five fillies and mares including Grade One winners Stopchargingmaria and Sam Sister, plus Grade Two Barbara Fritchie Handicap first and second Lady Sabelia and Princess Violet.
