Williams, who rode three Group 1 winners over the spring, will ride in Tokyo on Saturday for the Super Jockeys Series before partnering Rulership in the $6.5m Japan Cup.
A week and a half later Williams is due at Happy Valley where he’ll contest the Hong Kong International Jockeys Challenge in early December. He’ll stick around for the Hong Kong Vase on December 9 before heading back to Japan for his annual three-month stint.
Williams rode Dunaden to victory in the Caulfield Cup over the spring and also orchestrated Alcopop’s success in the Mackinnon Stakes and Green Moon’s win in the Turnbull last month.
