Seems Fred Kersley, isn't too worried about Northerly's defeat on Sat and the blinkers will remain off, at least in the short term.

Still on track for the Cox Plate and not the Caulfield Cup, as some are suggesting. Northerly has been nominated for the Caulfield Cup and is 2nd top weight with 58kg.

Interestingly the press over here are saying that Fred is considering starting Northerly in next Saturday's Craiglee Stakes (1600m) at Flemington instead of the Feehan Stakes (1600m) at Moonee Valley the following week.
