Local Time drops down to Group Two level for the nine-furlong Kilboy Estates Stakes at the Curragh, Ireland, on Sunday, July 19.
The daughter of Invincible Spirit has run in both of the UK's Group One mile races exclusively for three-year-year-old fillies, coming home eighth in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot on June 19 and finishing 10th in the Classic, the QIPCO 1000 Guineas, at Newmarket on May 3.
Local Time started the year with three wins on dirt at Meydan, UAE, including a facile success in the Group Three UAE Oaks Sponsored by Saeed & Mohammed Al Naboodah over nine and a half furlongs on February 26.
The filly also captured the mile Listed UAE 1000 Guineas Sponsored By Nova An IPIC Company on February 5 and a seven-furlong conditions race on January 15.
Her trainer Saeed bin Suroor commented: "We are hoping for softer ground for Local Time at the Curragh because it was too quick for her at Royal Ascot and Newmarket.
"She is in good form and the trip will suit her. Any rain will help her chances and I am looking for a good run from her."
Local Time, with regular rider James Doyle in the saddle, faces eight opponents headed by Group Two winners Brooch and Raydara.
