DAHAWI, Taneen and Raafid occupied the places behind Shanghai City over this trip at Jebel Ali last week and the former should come out on top again. He had earlier been beaten narrowly by Etisalat over the course and distance and a 2lb pull brings the pair close together though the latter has the worse of the draw. Raahy is held on that latter run and Hamama needs further.
