ParisLongchamp Group Double For Lope De Vega As First Look Takes The Prix Dollar

[Wandering Eyes]

Just as ParisLongchamp became enveloped in gloom, one of its beloved sons Andre Fabre produced some illumination with the reinvigorated First Look in the G2 Qatar Prix Dollar. Providing his sire Lope De Vega with a quickfire double after the exploits of Consent minutes earlier, Wathnan Racing's 2024 Prix du Jockey Club runner-up built on recent momentum to deny the Prix Niel runner-up Bay City Roller (New Bay) by 1 1/4 lengths.

In the recent past, this 10-furlong contest has been used as a stepping stone to Ascot's Champion Stakes, with Cirrus des Aigles, Skalleti, Dubai Honour and Horizon Dore all featuring prominently there having won this. First Look, who has been transformed by a gelding operation and was building on his latest win in the G3 Prix Gontaut-Biron, is not entered at Ascot but would not be out of place on the evidence of this performance.

Mickael Barzalona was on the 4-1 winner, whose stablemate Bright Picture (Intello) was a further 1 3/4 lengths behind in third.

Gutsy performance!
