Australia's latest superhorse, Northerly, who won the W. S. Cox Plate (Aus-G1), the eighth leg of the 12-race Emirates World Series Racing Championship, on Saturday at Moonee Valley racecourse in Melbourne, could be among the international contingent of horses for the Dubai World Cup (UAE-G1) at Nal al Sheba in March.

Trainer Fred Kersley is pointing the five-year-old Serheed gelding to the $502,509 Emirates Stakes (Aus-G1) at Flemington on November 10 for his next start, The Age reports, and he has also been in discussion with Les Benton, chief executive of the Emirates Racing Association, about sending Northerly to run in the World Cup.

Northerly, who was winning his fourth Group 1 victory of the year, brought his lifetime earnings to $1,721,895 with a stirring three-quarter length victory over New Zealand-bred supermare Sunline in the Cox Plate. Earlier this year, Northerly won the Australian Cup (Aus-G1), Yalumba Stakes (Aus-G1), and Underwood Stakes (Aus-G1).
