Gris Caro is out of the Caulfield Cup, joining Dandino as scratching in Saturday's $3 million race.
Racing Victoria stewards confirmed the withdrawal of the Jake Stephens-trained stayer, saying the import has front feet issues.
Dandino, one of the leading international contenders, has also been scratched because of lameness in his off-fore leg.
Brambles and Araldo, the first and second emergencies, will run.
Bookmakers have Brambles on the third line of betting at $12 with Araldo at $41.
