Gold Coast sprinter Faster Son has impressed jockey Craig Williams as the gelding gets ready for his most serious test in Saturday's Listed WJ Adams Stakes at Caulfield.

Williams rode the Trevor Bailey-trained four-year-old to wins at his last two starts in the spring and won a jumpout on him last week giving him hope that he will measure up in the autumn.

"Trevor has always had the opinion he would make the grade as a nice handicap sprinter and has done a really good job placing him, developing him and building him up," Williams said.

"The next step is to take on these better sprinters on Saturday and find out where he fits in the mix."

Beaten just once in his seven starts, Faster Son is the best-backed horse in the Adams Stakes with TAB Sportsbet, firming from $8 to $6.50.

Sydney sprinter Winter King is also in demand, tightening from $8 to $7, while Golden Slipper Stakes winner Crystal Lily is an easing favourite from $4 to $4.20.

Williams said Faster Son felt as if he had come back at least as good as he was in the spring.

"I trialled him last week and I was really happy the way he has come up this preparation," Williams said,.

Among those he beat in the jumpout was Darwin-trained sprinter and Adams Stakes rival Canali who last start won the Listed Summer Scorcher Stakes over Saturday's distance of 1000m in Perth.

"Faster Son had a more solid trial than Canali did but it gave us a really good hitout stepping forward to the Adams Stakes," Williams said.

With most of the favourites drawn off the track, Faster Son should be able to get a position near the pace more easily from barrier five.

Williams first rode Faster Son at his Melbourne debut when he landed a restricted race over 1000m at Sandown in September.

He teamed with the son of Fastnet Rock again a month later to win the Mitty's Cup (1200m) at Caulfield.

Williams said Faster Son was very forward but not completely wound up for his autumn launch.

"There will still be improvement after Saturday but I am happy with him," he said.
