Three Bendigo athletes have the opportunity to win medals.
Mountain bike rider Peta Mullens is a strong medal chance in the women's cross country event from 8.30pm (AEST).
Bendigo shooter Geoff Grenfell is in third place going into the final day of the Queen's Prize individual event.
Grenfell, who won gold at the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Canada, is one of five shooters on 254 points going into the final day.
In a tight competition, two points separates the top 11 shooters.
Grenfell's event starts at 6.45pm (AEST) but a final result is not expected until after midnight.
Bendigo's Tim Driesen will compete in tonight's hammer throw final.
Driesen produced a season best throw of 69.63m to be fifth overall in qualifying for the final.
The hammer throw final is scheduled to start at 5.40am Wednesday morning (AEST).
In non-medal action, badminton ace Jeff Tho starts his singles and mixed doubles campaign tonight.
Tho plays Kenya's Joseph Githitu in the first round of the singles from 6pm (AEST).
He'll partner Jacqueline Guan in the first round of the mixed doubles against the Maldives at 5am (AEST).
Central Victorian netballers Caitlin Thwaites and Julie Corletto will enjoy a day off.
