The Expressway Stakes meeting signals the unofficial start of the Sydney autumn carnival and leading trainer Chris Waller will bring out three of his big guns for Saturday's Group Two race at Rosehill.

Rangirangdoo, Danleigh and new stable acquisition Shoot Out will kick off their campaigns in the 1200m feature while Red Tracer will stay at home to run the following week.

Waller admits he is not sure what to expect from Shoot Out who joined his team late last year from John Wallace's Gold Coast stable.

"We have taken a soft approach with him and haven't asked too much of him yet," Waller said.

"He looks well and his class will take him a long way.

"Rangirangdoo is at about the same stage as Shoot Out and with him it's just one race at a time.

"Danleigh is the more forward of the three but really I would expect them all to be at their peaks at their third runs."

Rangirangdoo's career has been curtailed by injury with the seven-year-old needing almost a year off after his 2010 Doncaster Mile victory.

He came back last autumn to win the Group One George Ryder Stakes but pulled up lame from the race and the Expressway will be his first race since then.

Shoot Out won the 2010 Randwick Guineas and AJC Australian Derby but although he has been competitive, he has not won since he took out the J J Liston in Melbourne in August 2010.

Danleigh won the Chipping Norton Stakes at his third run last autumn and that will be among his Group One aims again.

The Expressway attracted a star studded 15 entries including last year's winner Centennial Park, Group One winners Eagle Falls, Manawanui, Sacred Choice and Sniper's Bullet and boom sprinter Rain Affair.

The strength of the field has prompted Toby Edmonds to keep Essington in Queensland to run at Eagle Farm on Saturday.

The cancellation of Saturday's Warwick Farm meeting prompted a reshuffle of the program for Rosehill to accommodate horses heading to the carnival.

Nominations were originally taken for nine races on Monday but a 10th was added with the 29 entries for the 1500 metre open handicap now also forming the nominations for a Benchmark 85 over the same distance.

There are two races for two-year-olds programmed, one over 1100 metres and one over 1200 with several horses nominated for both.

An 11th race could also be added depending on the number of acceptances received on Wednesday for a couple of other races with large nominations.

Meanwhile, the Australian Turf Club's metropolitan meeting on Wednesday has been moved from Hawkesbury to Kembla Grange.
