Litzdeel and Craig Williams line up in Race 5 at Flemington over 2800 metres for trainer Danny O'Brien at $4.60.
This lightly raced four-year-old brings compelling credentials to the stayers contest.
The gelding's St Leger victory at Flemington provides the perfect form reference for today's assignment, proving he can handle the track and distance combination.
Recent form at Caulfield over 2400 metres showed plenty of fight when Litzdeel copped interference mid-race but rallied strongly to finish well.
That resilience, combined with his proven wet track ability, makes him an intriguing proposition in what shapes as a competitive staying test.
Williams knows Flemington better than most, and this progressive stayer could be ready to announce himself at this trip.
Odds subject to change.
