Formscan By Tom Weekes - AUTUMN GRAY ran nicely on her recent debut and can build on that showing. A E95,000 yearling and a half-sister to three capable winners, the selection was beaten by five previously-raced rivals at Naas where she finished her race quite well. Two of those Churchill Bond and 80-rated Lunar Empress (now tried in cheekpieces), re-oppose today but the selection is open to a fraction more progression. Shenata and similarly-owned Katiraya are closely matched on their respective debut runs in a July maiden at Leopardstown, and each has since shown some progression.
