Three Liberals are fighting for the chance to take on Labor's DARREN CHEESEMAN at the next federal election.

Local physiotherapist MARCUS DRIPPS has joined ROD NOCKLES and SARAH HENDERSON in nominating for Liberal pre-selection in the seat of Corangamite.

The seat's the most marginal in the country.

The Liberal state executive is expected to meet today to finalise applications and set a date for the pre-selection vote.
