Akasawa is odds on with Ladbrokes.com.au for the Gunnedah Cup (1600m) in what looks an intriguing race.
It’s intriguing because Akasawa is topweight with a massive impost of 65.5kg but if he wins, he’s in the Big Dance. He sits at $1.85.
Russley Crown sits on the second line of betting and is the only other runner at single figures at $7.00. Next best is Mayfair Spirit at $11.
