Best Bet
Cool Archie has cut a swathe through the two year old features and there is no reason he can’t claim the big one – the G1 JJ Atkins. The way he ran through the line to win the Sires suggests a mile won’t pull him up and he has shown the ability to mix wet and firm track form. Looks a class above once again and the market still doesn’t seem to be respecting him enough.
Recommended Price: $3.30
Confidence Level: 4.5/5

Attractable can turn back the clock here at Eagle Farm. He is well suited by the weight for age conditions of the race and the key to his chances is that he can get a good run on speed in a race where most key chances will be back in the run. Third up, he should be ready to show his best form again.
Recommended Price: $15
Confidence Level: 3/5
The price on War Machine was silly earlier in the week but now it has got to something more reasonable he looks a very solid bet in the 2025 Stradbroke. He was a dominant winner of the BRC Sprint and drops 3.5Kg into this. There should be a heap of speed on, so Tim Clark can position midfield and run over them late.
Recommended Price: $3.30
Confidence Level: 4/5
The Doomben Cup looks the right form for the Q22 and Kovalica certainly ran well enough there to suggest he can figure back on the Eagle Farm track that he adores, having won three of his four starts here. Blinkers go back on so he can sit a little closer in the run here.
Recommended Price: $5.00
Confidence Level: 3/5
