He lines up against Darren Weir's Twin Tea Bags and Fledged, plus the Robert Smerdon-trained Mulaga in the 3480-metre race.
Danzadoozie came to prominence after hurdle wins at Hamilton and Warrnambool, with a third placing in Warrnambool's Brierly Steeplechase.
Wilde gave Danzadoozie a brief let-up after his unplaced run in the Grand Annual Steeplechase.
“We've schooled Danzadoozie at Casterton and Cranbourne over the last few weeks and he's gone well. He shows a lot of promise but I reckon he's a year away from being a really top steeplechaser,” Wilde said.
Three jumps races are on the eight-race program, which was transferred from Warrnambool after heavy rain over the last week.
