Trainer Chris Waller will continue to monitor new stable acquisition Warringah ahead of confirming a Melbourne cup start for the European.

Waller's original plan after purchasing Warringah was to set him for the Sydney autumn.

But the gelding arrived in Australia from England in such good order, plans changed to include a tilt at this year's Melbourne Cup.

Waller inspected Warringah last week and will make another trip to Melbourne from Sydney this week to see him through a more solid workout.

"He came through his first week in great order and showed he had got over the trip," Waller said.

"He will have a serious gallop later in the week.

"Until we see him under a bit of pressure it's hard to tell if he has done as well as we think."

Warringah was formerly trained by Sir Michael Stoute with whom Waller has been in constant contact over the past few weeks.

"Sir Michael has been a great help and if Warringah happens to win the Cup, a lot of the credit is down to him," Waller said.

"It's very exciting to think we have a Melbourne Cup runner on our hands."

Warringah has won two races in England over 2336 and 2418 metres and has five second placings in his 12 start career.

He finished fifth in the famous Ebor Handicap in August carrying top weight of 61.5 kilograms.

Waller will also have a Cox Plate runner in Epsom Handicap runner-up Rangirangdoo after deciding to give the five-year-old his chance at 2040 metres.

Rangirangdoo won the Tramway Handicap (1400m) before going down to Drumbeats by a short half head in the Shannon Stakes (1500m).

He loomed up to win the Group One Epsom (1600m) but Rock Kingdom held him out by a half head on the heavy track.

As well as Rangirangdoo, Waller will have dual Group One winner Danleigh at Moonee Valley on Saturday in the Group Two Schweppes Stakes.

The winner of the All-Aged Stakes in April, Danleigh produced a brilliant first-up performance to take out the Manikato Stakes at Moonee Valley on September 25.

The win took his record on slow tracks to four from four and he was also runner-up to Cox Plate contender Black Piranha in the Stradbroke Handicap on a heavy surface.
