Looking Ahead should get a lovely tow into the race behind obvious leader Rive Gauche should Noske choose to sit on his back or alternatively sit three back the fence and look to get into open running. Her first up run behind Trading Day was simply excellent, getting back to last over 1200m which was always going to be too short for her she savaged the line and ran 7th beaten only 1.75 lengths. Consecutive 3 length defeats to Tower of Lonhro over a mile should have given her enough fitness to tackle this 2100m stayers event. Has missed the money just once from her 5 starts at 2000+ and that was when she ran a luckless 4th. Loves the distance and is a two time Belmont Park victor at 2100 and 2200m, this should suit her and at around the $15 mark looks a nice eachway gamble. Dubai Escapade was heavily commissioned first up over a mile when caught wide throughout and battling on bravely into 5th. Steps straight up to 2100 and Jerry Noske jumps aboard with Lucy given the ride on stablemate Rive Gauche. Expect Zabeel gelding Rive Gauche to get rolling from the 1000m and make it a true staying test, has run within 2.5 lengths of Lucciola at both recent outings and with a 52.5kg feather weight on his back expecting him to run a Verdello Blue style race with inform apprentice Lucy Warwick to continue her tactical dominance. Gladstone won last start after I finally gave up on him and Pike retains the mount, first look at a distance but his previous form suggests the journey should be right up his alley. Many chances in another wide open event.
