Pimpernel chasing Oaks prize22nd February 2012
Pimpernel will look for her own slice of Dubai Carnival Classic glory in the UAE Oaks at Meydan.
Mahmood Al Zarooni's filly was second in last year's Rockfel Stakes and was a Listed winner at Newbury in October, but was simply blown away by stablemate Gamilati in this month's UAE 1000 Guineas.
With Gamilati now being prepared for the European season, Frankie Dettori switches to Pimpernel in Thursday's Group Three feature over nine and a half furlongs. She had four of her five rivals behind her in the Guineas - Alsindi, Moon Spun, Colorful Notion and Mary Fildes.
