The Australian Derby winner will run in the Group 2 Hill Stakes over 2000m before heading the Caulfield Cup on October 19.

However, rather than being the four-year-old gelding's grand final, Williams is confident Angel Of Truth will thrive over the 3200m Melbourne Cup distance.

Listed at $51 in the TAB all-in market, Angel Of Truth is 15^th in the Melbourne Cup order of entry with 53.5 kilograms.

Shocking was the last Australian bred horse to win the Cup in 2009, the race that stops the nation has since been dominated by either international trainers, or Australian stables who bought imports to win the Cup.

"This is a horse I could have sold, there was plenty of interest in him, but I wanted to have Cups runner," Williams said.

"He certainly wants 2400m and beyond and we need Australian horses running the Cup against all the internationals. As long as he comes through the Caulfield Cup well, I'd want to push on to the Melbourne Cup."

Even Angel Of Truth has American bloodline through sire Animal Kingdom and dam sire Benardini, but has been bred in Australia as part of Williams' Superhorse operation.

Williams has become a stunning success story, developing complex genetic research software to find value for money in breeding.

In his second year in partnership with Kembla Grange's premier trainer Markwell, they've also won the Group 3 Hawkesbury Cup and the Listed Doomben Members Handicap with six-year-old gelding Archedemus.

Angel Of Truth returned this preparation to run sixth behind Samadoubt in the Group 2 Chelmsford Stakes and fifth to Avilius in the Group 1 George Main Stakes, both over 1600m at Randwick.

"The 1600 is just too short for him, his minimum distance is 2000, but I've been really happy with him against some very good horses," Williams said.

"We get to 2000m on Saturday and then two weeks to prepare for the Caulfield Cup. We've stayed at weight-for-age to avoid a penalty, so he'll come in well at the weights.

"I'm not sure about Gwenda's plans to take him down to Melbourne, but he's been doing work going the other way anyway."

Archedemus ($71) drew barrier four for Saturday's Epsom Handicap at Randwick. Williams expects dramatic improvement after running seventh behind Kolding in the Group 3 Bill Ritchie Handicap.

"He taken a while to shed his winter coat, so it's taken us a bit longer than we would have liked," Williams said.

"But I expect he'll be much better here and better again next run."
