In depth

Verdict

Mike De Kock isn't happy with the new Dirt surface and will have few runners on it at this year's Carnival so the presence of Clairwood maiden winner Ad Idem could be significant. However, Godolphin have had a stranglehold on this in recent years and it looks long odds-on another success as they have three entries, all with similar levels of form. LOCAL TIME ended her first campaign by landing a Group 3 at Newmarket in October and had earlier posted a very fast time when scoring at Kempton. Comedy Queen has more of an all-weather pedigree and she made a big impression when beating subsequent winner Zari on her debut at Kempton in September. Good Place landed a Listed contest at Ascot before finishing last in the Fillies' Mile but there are lines of form suggesting she may just be behind Local Time in the Godolphin pecking order here so the latter gets the nod. Runner Runner, who finished a close second in a Listed contest in Germany in October, is well exposed and may struggle in this company.
