Kion's Kingdom has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. Tricky and the betting will prove instructive. RAIDER'S OWN (2) trialled well after a long break and then surprised the market here first-up, beaten less than 2L over 1220m. He's sure to have taken benefit from that outing and is likely to go close. KION'S KINGDOM (1) led in the same race on debut, well-supported, but folded right up. Has won two Longford trials prior and Pires is engaged this evening. It won't be a surprise to see quick improvement. SPECIMEN (3) resumed as favourite this track/trip, but he punctured badly after racing handy. Has an inside gate and with the extra fitness gets another chance. GENUINE LADY (6) found one much too good on the synthetic but went well enough this track/trip before to give her a chance. Has a top hoop aboard this evening, a low gate, and the blinkers on for the first time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Raider's Own.
