Rawiller's mount Patrick Erin has been scratched from the $400,000 race.

Outsider Kilimanjaro has also been scratched, leaving a field of 14 to run at 4pm.

While Nash Rawiller will miss the Cup, a late pick-up ride has given him the opportunity to ride against his son, Campbell, for the first time today.

He picked up the ride on the Mitch Beer-trained Sky Call in the first race. Campbell will ride the Pat Carey-trained Ultra Smart in the same event.

Campbell made his Bendigo debut on Caulfield Cup day where he had two unplaced rides.

Campbell has made a big impression in his first season of riding. He has seven career winners already, including last Saturday's St Arnaud Cup.

Campbell has three rides on Wednesday, including local galloper Like To Think So for trainer Kym Hann in race six.
