The $100,000 race over 1600 metres and the $60,000 Hamilton Cup are the two feature races on the eight-race program.
Kent Street has run second at his last three outings.
Chow said he was confident the five-year-old would run well.
"My bloke is a strong chance," the popular Warrnambool-based trainer said.
"He deserves a crack at the $100,000 race. It's excellent prizemoney with the prospect of running in the final in a few weeks if he runs well.
"Kent Street was a shade unlucky not to have won last time at Geelong. He's trained on since that effort."
