Akasawa just holds the call with Ladbrokes in their market for the Country Championships Final (1400m) this Saturday at Randwick.
The Paul Messara trained gelding won the Tamworth Qualifier and is proven in town, so he clearly rates highly, and the market agrees, having him at $4.60.
Testator Silens, runner up in the Moruya Qualifier, is hot on his heels at $5.00, clear of Talbragar at $6.00, who won the Scone Wildcard.
