DALIAPOUR BOUNCES BACK Daliapour, bound for the Dubai Sheema Classic at Nad Al Sheba on Saturday, is reported to have recovered well after becoming dehydrated on the flight out from Hong Kong. Last year`s Coronation Cup winner, now trained by Ivan Allan in Hong Kong, was put on an electrolyte dip and his condition has improved markedly since his arrival. Allan said today: 'Of my three horses, Daliapour has come around quickly and that is why I gave him a 400-metre hit out.' The two other Allan-trained hopefuls in action on the same card, Indigenous (Dubai Sheema Classic) and Fairy King Prawn (Dubai Duty Free), are both also reported to be recovering well after their difficult journeys. Indigenous did a slow canter today over 800m with Fairy King Prawn covering no more than 600m under a tight hold. Allan said of the Nad Al Sheba course: 'It`s a little worn along the outside fence but that`s not where anyone ought to be. The course itself is on the good side and not firm which should suit most horses.'
