LOCAL TIME should have few problems becoming the fifth to complete the fillies' classic double in the UAE. The daughter of Invincible Spirit out of a 1m2f Listed winner only just got up to snatch the 1000 Guineas Trial over 7f from Ad Idem but had no such problems landing the 'real thing' over an extra furlong. The Godolphin filly had Good Place, Shahrasal and Yodelling in the places that day and is impossible to oppose over this slightly longer trip, though she probably wouldn't want to go much further. Runner Runner, who was beaten a long way in fifth, is hardly likely to do much better and Icecapada was beaten 14 lengths in the trial.
