In-form European visitor Scottish won't run in the Gr.1 Melbourne Cup.
Godolphin's Gr.1 Caulfield Cup runner-up will instead contest the Gr.1 Emirates (Mackinnon) Stakes on the closing day of the Flemington meeting.
"Scottish has continued to do well since the Caulfield Cup and we are happy to have him dropping back in distance from 2400m to 2000m for the Emirates," trainer Charlie Appleby said.
