Williams is still getting his head around the fact he has driven four group 1 winners since permanently donning the All Stars Stables colours of blue with silver stars last August, three of those with the country's best 3yr-old male pacer, Have Faith In Me.
''If you had told me last year I was going to drive Adore Me and Follow The Stars, that would have been enough for me.''
While Have Faith In Me is working towards the Harness Jewels with a regular trials programme, Williams' more immediate focus is tomorrow's 3yr-old fillies feature where he teams up with Classical Art.
But an awkward draw of 7 - outside favourite The Orange Agent (barrier 3) and stablemate Fight For Glory (barrier 6) - means Williams will have to weigh up his game plan shortly after the mobile arms fold back at the 1950m mark.
I think she's probably the sort of filly where over 1950m and drawn 7, there's no point going back,'' Williams said of the $9 chance.
''She's not the sort of horse that would appreciate going back. She's a natural runner. I imagine she will take a forward spot, but it depends on the tempo inside me how forward we get.
"If she's headbutting the mobile, there's not going to be too much point arguing with her. I'll just go with her and what will be will be.''
Williams said the pace from The Orange Agent (driven by Maurice McKendry) and Fight For Glory would dictate Classical Art's chances in the final 400m.
''She is very good with one run; she doesn't have to be driven tough. I imagine they will go pretty hard with Maurice's filly drawn underneath everyone.
''A genuine clip should suit her too and she's come on a bit since her last run.''
However, Williams was taken by stablemate Fight For Glory's victory over his filly at Addington last month after Classical Art had the easier run.
''She's got the all-round game - she's not just a one-trick pony where she can be cuddled up for one run. She was good enough to make her own luck and to sit outside me and beat me pretty easy really."
The draws have been kinder to Williams in the $200,000 2yr-old male pacing sales series final, in which he has lobbed barrier 2 with Motu Premier.
Natalie Rasmussen had the reins for the Bettor's Delight colt's last start when he was a smart winner at Addington on April 10.
''His last start is the real indication that he has stepped up,'' Williams said.
''It was the first time with the pull-down blinds on and Natalie was very impressed. He got home in 26.5[sec] and she said she only really asked him halfway up to get going.
''He looks a good each-way chance in what's a strong field.''
Stablemate Lazarus is the one to beat and moves in to barrier 5 after the scratching of Alta Las Vegas.
''From the draw for that money, [Lazarus] might not be blasting, but he will work forward.''
