Perfect Pekan does it again

Anak Pekan produced a brave performance to land back-to-back runnings of the totesport Chester Cup today.

The Michael Jarvis-trained five-year-old had to overcome a bad draw and a big rise in the weights but after he took it up a furlong from home, the result never looked in doubt.

Sent off at 16-1 under Philip Robinson, the gelding sprinted away to beat Swift Sailor, with Contact Dancer staying on for third and Larkwing fourth.
