WA racing star Northerly shifts up a gear in his preparation for a third assault on the Melbourne autumn carnival when he returns to Belmont Park trackwork tomorrow.

Trainer Fred Kersley plans for Northerly to have his third start in the Australian Cup (2000m) in mid-March before heading to Sydney for the $2 million BMW (2000m) at Rosehill on April 12.

Northerly won the Australian Cup in record time in 2001 before going down narrowly to Old Comrade in the Group 1 feature last year.
