Verdict
Successful here last summer, Eskimo Kisses got back to winning ways at Turffontein when beating Leading Fast and has to go on the shortlist. The well-drawn Anne Boleyn looks the pick of Paul Peter’s two runners and Wylie Wench arrives on a hat-trick so can’t be ignored. QUICK WIT is reappearing following a lengthy absence but the Philanthropist filly may well prove better than a handicapper in time having had just the two runs. Mike De Kock would have found an easier race if he’d had any doubt about her fitness and Callan Murray rides her in preference to Wind N Grey.
