You should realise as early as possible that you'll need to descend further to capture the glide.

Request a lower altitude to ATC as soon as that becomes evident, and set it in the MCP.

Extend flaps and gear early in order to be able to dive when cleared to do so.

But you can do that only if later on you'll be able to check the glide with another fix.

Be very careful!
