Craig Williams has a fitness test on Friday, to determine if he can ride on Doncaster Day (Image: Racing Photos)

Craig Williams could very well be back in action for day one of The Championships after all, with confusion reigning over the availability of Melbourne's leading metro hoop following his fall on Saturday.

A seven-day break was flagged for the five-time Melbourne premiership winner, which it later emerged was a "mandatory" break for Williams - which most believed would have ruled him out for Doncaster Mile Day at Randwick on Saturday, when he was set to partner Tosen Stardom in the $3million feature.

As it stands, Williams has two rides in place, both aboard Australian Bloodstock horses - Tosen Stardom in the Doncaster, and Big Duke in the Group 2 Chairman's Handicap.

Victorian Jockeys' Association chief executive Matt Hyland explained the situation ahead for Williams, who suffered a mild concussion in a past-the-post fall after the Mornington Cup on Saturday.

"Craig applied to do a cogstate test on Friday, and will also receive a medical report from a neurosurgeon. Once he's cleared of that, he'll be good to go Saturday," Hyland told RSN 927's Racing Pulse.

"I guess it comes down to interpretation of that policy.

"The original policy in place with RV was there was a five-day stand-down for concussion, but that period was extended to a seven-day stand-down on the advice of RV's chief medical adviser Dr Gary Zimmerman.

"Gary's interpretation of that policy is from the day of the injury; seven days from the day of the injury would take Craig up to Friday, and allow him to ride Saturday."

Williams' agent Mark Guest said other rides where the hoop was in the mix for - including Tivaci [Damien Oliver], Manaya and Property - have since had others booked, while Mr Sneaky remains a possible mount for Williams in the Group 3 Carbine Club Stakes.
