The Greg Bennett-trained Clearly Innocent remains favourite for the Country Championship despite an injury scare.
Country Championship favourite Clearly Innocent is expected to take his place after an injury scare.
He will, however, wear a bar shoe on his off fore hoof to protect it after he suffered a stone bruise, the same problem which has ruled out his Greg Bennett-trained stablemate All Summer Long.
The Rod Northam-trained After All That now gains a start and will be ridden by James McDonald who had been named as All Summer Long's jockey.
Despite the issue, Clearly Innocent remains the TAB's $2.30 favourite for the $400,000 race ahead of the John Bateman-trained Lofty's Menu at $3.80.
