Champion trainer Mark Purdon has a word of warning for punters as Akuta prepares to take the step into open class.
The sensational three-year-old pacer will take on established elite level pacers in Krug, Alta Wiseguy and Pembrook Playboy in the $30,000 Hannon Memorial at Oamaru on Sunday.
How he performs on Sunday and in his next two starts may well determine whether Akuta will be given his chance in the IRT New Zealand Cup at Addington on November 8.
