Northerly is fine. He had a good track gallop last Thursday over 1200 metres.
Personally I do not like to get too far ahead of things. I will look at the Cox Plate once the field and barrier draws are known. Unfortunately the race is no longer a decent betting event. When unknown quantities like the overseas horses are added the race loses attractiveness from a betting perspective as far as I am concerned.
It's tough enough backing winners with local exposed form without overseas horses being thrown into the equation as well.
