Warrnambool trainer Matthew Williams will watch the performances of his two Sandown runners with anticipation with a view to them contesting premier events at his home town May carnival.

Williams is hopeful that Wangoom Handicap candidate Uxorious can extend his unbeaten record in Wednesday's Rajah Sahib Handicap (1200m) and that Agarkar, in the Allez Bijou Handicap (2100m), can confirm a crack at the Warrnambool Cup.

Uxorious, with a 68 rating after three-length wins at his only two starts in a Warrnambool maiden and Ballarat Class One event, steps up sharply to an 82-rating event but Williams is optimistic.

"He's been been doing a good job obviously against lesser opposition than he meets at Sandown but he has been lumping 58kg and drops to 53.5kg," Williams said.

"It is a big weight drop and at some stage you have to test them.

"This will tell us where his mark is and where we should be going with him."

Williams said the Wangoom was an option providing that Uxorious won again.

"We are looking at the Wangoom but he would need to win well at Sandown," Williams said.

Uxorious was originally with the Peter Moody stable but as an unraced four-year-old joined Williams' stable to take advantage of the beach after chipping a bone in his knee.

"He's had a few little soundness issues and he came to us because of the beach," Williams said.

"He is a big horse around 16.1 or 16.2 (hands) with thick shoulders and not a horse you would want to be be pounding around the track every morning."

Williams said Uxorious hadn't been flash away at either of his runs but mustered good speed to put himself on the pace both starts.

Agarkar is a seasoned campaigner with six wins from his 25 starts and Williams said that three recent runs would have him ready to fire before heading to the Warrnambool Cup (2350m) via next Sunday's Hamilton Cup (2200m).

He was beaten two lengths last start when eighth to Bourbonstreetblues in the Stawell Cup (2000m) but is fitter now.

"He was a bit stiff at Stawell when he was taken on and pressured a long way out but he kept battling away," Williams said.

"He was probably a run short that day so he's fit now, ready to go and should be pretty hard to beat."

The three-day Warrnambool Carnival starts on May 4.
