Back-breaking weights haven't dissuaded leading owner Lloyd Williams from attacking obscure races at Caulfield with Cox Plate runner-up Zipping and Melbourne Cup placegetter C'est La Guerre.

Zipping will carry 62kg when he makes a cameo appearance in Saturday's Listed Anniversary Vase (1400m) while C'est La Guerre is set to shoulder 63kg in the Ajax Handicap (1700m).

Steven Arnold will ride both star gallopers who are trained by John Sadler.

Williams said C'est La Guerre would get another chance to impress after he could finish only fifth to Largo Lad when he resumed in the Group Two Blamey Stakes (1600m) at Flemington on March 14.

"I was only going to give him one run this campaign but I wanted to see him again after his last start in the mile race (Blamey)," Williams said.

"It wasn't a great race and it was just a fair run.

"I want him to show me a bit more than that."

Zipping was given 64.5kg in the Ajax Handicap but Williams is happy for him to avoid C'est La Guerre and take on the harder race with less weight.

He is among 28 entries for the Anniversary Vase which also includes Douro Valley who has 61kg and is resuming after finishing ninth in the Hong Kong Vase (2400m) at Sha Tin in December.

Zipping hasn't raced since beating Douro Valley in a photo-finish in the weight-for-age Sandown Classic (2400m) on November 15.

Williams said he expected Zipping to run well first-up.

"He has been toned up for one run and he's in good order," Williams said.

"He never runs badly and he'll be making his way home pretty well."

Last year at his only autumn start Zipping finished ninth to Weekend Hussler in the Newmarket Handicap (1200m) before being spelled for the spring.

Williams is following a similar plan again with the seven-year-old and will bring him back for a first-up crack at the Group Two Dato Tan Chin Nam Stakes (1600m) at Moonee Valley on September 12.

Zipping was a close seventh to Guillotine in the feature last year and at his next two starts was a fast-finishing third to Littorio and Master O'Reilly in the Group One Turnbull Stakes and flashed home for second to Maldivian in the Cox Plate.

He won the Sandown Classic for the second year in a row after finishing ninth in the Melbourne Cup to Viewed who beat Bauer in a photo-finish with C'est La Guerre third.

C'est La Guerre's last of five wins was the New Zealand Derby in March last year.

Williams said that after Saturday the four-year-old would resume in the spring, most likely in the Group Two Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m) at Flemington on September 5.
