The Chris Waller-trained Egg Tart has been scratched from the Epsom Handicap, the Group One race for which she was second favourite.

Egg Tart, who has been battling an eye complaint, had been the subject of ongoing veterinarian scrutiny during the week.

Waller told Racing NSW stewards on Friday that Egg Tart’s near side eye irritation had not improved enough for her to take her place in the $1 million mile race at Randwick on Saturday.
