Unbeaten Majmu in action soon
Majmu, champion two-year-old filly of last season, could make her seasonal debut on Saturday 4 October in the R400,000 Joburg Spring Fillies & Mares Challenge (Grade 2) over 1450m at Turffontein.
She has drawn No 10 and looks likely to start from a single-figure stall should trainer Mike de Kock allow her to put her unbeaten record on the line in her first start since winning the Fillies Nursery in April.
Wide draws hinder the chances of No Worries and Whiteline Fever if they run in the males’ equivalent race on the same day, the R400,000 Joburg Spring Challenge.
They are the two top-rated runners on the list of entries for the weight-for-age race, the official preparatory event for the Charity Mile on the first Saturday in November, and have drawn next to each other at Nos 18 and 19 respectively. Four-year-old Rake’s Chestnut, who is rated two points inferior to them, also drew wide at No 16.
However, De Kock’s three-year-old colt Anjaal, rated only 0.50 lengths inferior to No Worries and Whiteline Fever, fared better in the ballot for barrier positions at No 8.
