Bohemian Lily has been scratched from the Queensland Oaks due to injury.

"She sustained a cut to her left elbow this morning and even though it won't be life threatening and she'll be over it in a couple of weeks, she certainly couldn't run on Saturday," trainer Gai Waterhouse said.

Bohemian Lily was second favourite to win the Oaks at Doomben after her win in The Roses last week.

Waterhouse, in Melbourne to watch Wandjina contest a jump-out at Flemington before the colt heads to England, said Bohemian Lily would be spelled and aimed at the Caulfield Cup.

"It might be a blessing in disguise," Waterhouse said.

"That one extra run might have been the run that could take that little bit extra out of her, but now she'll be nice and fresh and ready to rock and roll in the spring."

Bohemian Lily was an Oaks ride for Blake Shinn and the leading Sydney jockey is now expected to partner Imperial Lass, the first emergency which has been elevated into the field.
