The Graham Watts trained gelding has looked sharp in his two official barrier trials finishing second each time.
If King Ludwig is to win, he will need to overcome last start winner Stirring Emotion who, ironically, is also by Excites.
Stirring Emotion posted an impressive length win at Bathurst over 1100m last start and placings at two previous outings.
Any addition to Excites' tally would serve as a timely boost for the one and only yearling headed to Oaklands for next week's Inglis Premier Yearling Sale.
Bell River Thoroughbreds is offering a daughter of Moonee Valley winner Luminary (Encosta De Lago), who is also a three-quarter-sister to stakeswinner Examination.
