New Zealand's Daniel Gaunt has firmed as Greg Murphy's replacement for the next round of the V8 Supercars circuit in Philip Island next weekend.

Murphy will be given until next week to prove his fitness after suffering a back injury while holidaying in Fiji, but it appears unlikely he will be able to team up with Castrol Holden teammate Tim Blanchard in the L&H 500.
