Tapi Sioux has been racing in better company at Meydan and her third behind the smart Emblem Prince in January puts her in the frame, though she was a long way out of her depth in the UAE Oaks last time. She made her debut on that track in November when last of five behind the very useful Rio Angie when MAJHOOLA finished second. The latter ran poorly there a month later but came here a fortnight ago and just failed to catch Amani Pico over 7f so she's taken to reverse the form and gain her first victory. Raahia could need a bit further than this judging by her staying-on effort over 1m1f at Meydan though this is a stiffer track.
