AUTUMN SONG (2) switched from a Queensland metro yard on a 49-day return and was beaten a whisker as favourite at Dubbo over this distance. He races forward and only has to match that effort to be winning. HIMEROS (6) peaks and will position forward. He's running out of chances but is going well enough to make the finish. SO SUPERIOR (3) is an improver who will carry just 54.5kg with the claimer engaged. His Canberra effort was solid and the step up to the mile is likely to suit. Ditto GIOVANNA STAR (5) who is also third-up with more to offer.
