Both Club Town and Witness Collector, Lunn's nominations in this weekend's tilt at Rosehill Gardens, have been accepted, lining up in the 2400M Western Metro Region Handicap and the 1500M Sky Racing Active Handicap respectively.
Both horses could be in with a chance if the expected heavy rainfall on Friday and Saturday does end up lashing the track, with Lunn confident that the adverse conditions will play to his hopeful's strengths.

Veteran hoop Jeff Penza will be in the saddle for both races, having previously won the Wellington Cup and Wellington Town Plate among other accolades.
Both contenders will also line up amongst some of the metro's best, with trainers like Gai Waterhouse, Bjorn Baker and more all also contesting the meeting.
While a favourable barrier draw for both his horses was amongst Lunn's hopes for the event, only Witness Collector will sit close to the inside, having drawn third and sitting sandwhiched between Bjorn Baker's Matowatakpe and David Payne's Montefilia.
Club Town will instead strike from ninth in their race, with hopes that the wet track and long distance will provide ample opportunity for the hard working gelding to improve their position.
The metro racing action will get underway at Rosehill Gardens from 11.50am on Saturday, August 8.
