COULD be some interesting glances between Luca Cumani and visiting jockey Jamie Spencer this week.

The pair had a public spat last month when Cumani criticised Spencer for "two very bad rides" on Mount Athos.

Spencer responded by tweeting a picture of a crying man throwing broken toys from a pram.

Spencer is now contracted to Dunaden's owner Sheikh Fahad and will ride him in the Melbourne Cup.

Spencer had his first look at Flemington yesterday after riding work at Werribee.

He will ride Cox Plate import Side Glance in the Mackinnon Stakes tomorrow, before having another couple of rides on Tuesday before the Cup.

"(Side Glance) just wouldn't relax (in the Cox Plate). Hopefully running him a week later, the freshness will be off him," Spencer said.
