Time For War can give trainer Gerald Ryan bragging rights as the leading Group One trainer of two-year-olds for the season if he can win the J J Atkins at Eagle Farm.

The juvenile spoils have been evenly spread with Peter Snowden claiming the Blue Diamond Stakes with Earthquake, Team Hawkes taking the Golden Slipper with Mossfun, the Ryan-trained Peggy Jean winning the ATC Sires' Produce and Adelaide filly, the Leon Macdonald-trained Go Indy Go, the Champagne Stakes.

The Rosehill-based Ryan has had a great season with his youngsters, sending out 11 individual winners of 16 races.

The J J Atkins (1600m) is the final Group One race for two-year-olds until next autumn and Time For War goes to Saturday's 1600m race at Eagle Farm on the back of an upset win over Brazen Beau in the BRC Sires' Produce.

The Chris Waller-trained Brazen Beau retains favouritism for the Atkins with Time For War a $10 chance ahead of Wednesday's final acceptances.

The Sires' Produce (1350m) at Doomben was Time For War's second Group Two win and his third victory from five starts.

Tye Angland took him to the front and he maintained his position to hold off Brazen Beau by a neck after that colt faltered at the start.

"We will give him a try at the 1600 metres. It might be too soon for him but he has done well since the Sires so he goes to the Group One," Ryan said.

Gai Waterhouse is looking for her first juvenile Group One this year with Almalad, the winner of his only two starts over 1000 and 1200m at Gosford and Randwick.

His lack of racing at the top level and his relative inexperience is of no concern to Waterhouse or punters and he is the $4.60 second favourite.

"He is a very exciting horse," Waterhouse said.

"The step up to 1600 metres will not be a problem."

Angland will once again ride Time For War while Tommy Berry will fly in from Hong Kong to ride Almalad.
