Turffontein Race 3 - Charity Mile 1 November Maiden Juvenile Plate
JABARI THIMBA (4) made an encouraging debut effort over 1160m on this course. He took time to find his feet but stayed on nicely at the finish. He will be at home over the 1400m and with the natural improvement that is expected he should take a power of beating. CARNARVON (2) has fair form lines to his name. He has placed in two of his last three starts and has each-way claims. PALACE ATTACK (6) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then finished fourth over 1160m at this track last start. Well placed and rates well as a leading chance. BIG JOE (1) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Mike & Mathew De Kock. By The United States from Always Red. Watch for a betting push to get a guide with regards to his chances.

Lining up for just third start. At very long odds at debut, ran last in a small field at this track on June 8 over 1000m, 11 len behind Gimmeforsure with 60kg at $67. Second-up 4th of 8 at Turffontein Inside on July 10 over 1000m, 4 len behind Bumps Last Grind carrying 57kg at $81. Unlikely to threaten.
