Broadsiding will be the sole three-year-old in the Cox Plate field, with Lindsay Park confirming Evaporate (NZ) (Per Incanto) will not take his place in the $5 million race on October 26.
Despite being unbeaten in three runs at The Valley, including the Group 2 Stutt Stakes, the son of Per Incanto will instead head to the G3 Carbine Club Stakes (1600m) on Victoria Derby Day, Ben Hayes confirmed to Racing.com.
Evaporate finished a brave third in the G1 Caulfield Guineas, with the G1 Spring Champion Stakes and the G2 Drummond Golf Vase other races connections considered.
The gelding will again clash with Caulfield Guineas runner-up Feroce in the Carbine Club Stakes.
Broadsiding, Evaporate and Wanaruah were the only three-year-olds left in the race for the Cox Plate, with the Waterhouse-Bott colt sent for a spell following his 11th placing in the Caulfield Guineas.
Evaporate was a $51 chance with Sportsbet for the Cox Plate, where the Lindsay Park team will be represented by $8 chance Mr Brightside.
