Godolphin will be doubly represented in the UAE 1,000 Guineas on Friday as the Dubai-based operation attempt to win the first classic of the season at Meydan racecourse.
Mahmood Al Zarooni's Gamilati will attempt to build on her impressive victory in the trial three weeks ago, while she will be joined in the Listed contest by Pimpernel, her stablemate.
Gamilati slammed Alsindi by almost three lengths in the trial on Meydan's Tapeta track earlier this month and could clash with Ali Rashid Al Raihe's filly, who has also been entered.
Gamilati, a three-year-old daughter of Bernardini, the 2006 Breeders' Cup runner-up, won the Group 2 Cherry Hinton Stakes at Newmarket, England in July before disappointing in the Group 2 Lowther Stakes at York a month later.
A small, but select field will join the Godolphin duo with Stan Moore's Mary Fildes, Erwan Charpy's Bonne Idee and Herman Brown's highly-regarded Moon Spun also among the entries.
Marco Botti's Colorful Notion makes up the field and will run in the red and black silks of Sheikh Sultan Bin Khalifa Al Nahyan.
In the other feature race on the card, the Al Shindagha Sprint, Steven Burridge, the Singapore trainer, saddles Captain Obvious in a bid to improve on his sensational record in the UAE.
Burridge made his debut at Meydan this season and from five starts has sent home four winners, including the Australian bred sprinter.
Captain Obvious won the Al Naboodah Contruction Group sprint over 1,200m 11 days ago and could face up to 13 other rivals in the Group 3 contest.

Day 2, Dubai Test: At a glance
Moment of the day Pakistan’s effort in the field had hints of shambles about it. The wheels were officially off when Wahab Riaz lost his run up and aborted the delivery four times in a row. He re-measured his run, jogged in for two practice goes. Then, when he was finally ready to go, he bailed out again. It was a total cringefest.
Stat of the day – 139.5 Yasir Shah has bowled 139.5 overs in three innings so far in this Test series. Judged by his returns, the workload has not withered him. He has 14 wickets so far, and became history’s first spinner to take five-wickets in an innings in five consecutive Tests. Not bad for someone whose fitness was in question before the series.
The verdict Stranger things have happened, but it is going to take something extraordinary for Pakistan to keep their undefeated record in Test series in the UAE in tact from this position. At least Shan Masood and Sami Aslam have made a positive start to the salvage effort.
