Cool Archie (barrier 9) is undefeated in his second prep and he's handled the rise in grade with ease, having recorded a hat-trick black-type wins following a maiden triumph on return.
The Munce-trained colt has taken out the two main lead-up's to the JJ Atkins, which includes a comfortable last start victory in the BRC Sires' Produce Stakes (1400m).
Champion trainer Chris Waller is aiming for his fourth win in the JJ Atkins and Hidden Achievement (barrier 6) is his top seed for the 2025 edition.
This son of I Am Invincible has a win and two placings from three starts, while the rise in distance appears suitable off his latest performance, where he finished third over 1300m at Rosehill.
Chris Waller also prepares Regulated Affair (barrier 17) and Providence (barrier 12).
Grafterburners (barrier 2) recorded a sixth-place finish Sires's Produce Stakes, which he contested second-up following an unlucky return at Doomben.
Firmer ground can see this Kelly Schweida-trained colt improve in the JJ Atkins, with his booming finish being on display in the QTIS Jewel before a spell.
The Waterhouse & Bott stable have Farnicle (barrier 4) and this colt was freshened-up after saluting on debut at Randwick-Kensington.
He improved off a midfield finish in the Spirit Of Boom Classic, with the son of Farnan arriving here off a runner-up to Cool Archie in the Sires' Produce Stakes.
