Expecting Aftermath to take up the running with Privy Garden and Khan Hunter close at hand. PRIVY GARDEN (6) was only beaten by a neck fresh up at Te Rapa at BM75 level last time out. She drops 4.5kg, and with a fitness edge over her main rivals, she can go one better. TRUST IN YOU (3) is a quality stayer resuming from a spell. He has the ability to sprint well fresh up and is not to be underestimated, especially with Michael McNab in the saddle. SON OF SUN (4) is a stablemate of the third pick who is also better known over more ground. Warren Kennedy is in the saddle, and if the gaps come at the right time, he will be storming home late. Include in all combos. AFTERMATH (8) fought on well fresh up at Te Rapa, and will be suited by an extra furlong. Top 3 claims this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Privy Garden is good enough to take this out, watch for Trust In You at odds.
