Euroman, who defeated Super Haze by a length with One For Later in third place in the 3480-metre hurdle, has won two of his three hurdle starts for the Ciaron Maher-David Eustace stable.
Declan Maher, stable foreman, said Euroman was a progressive type of jumper who had the capability of measuring up to the top grade of hurdlers.
"The Lafferty Hurdle is the obvious race for him," Maher said.
"It'll be up to Ciaron and David to decide if he has a run before the Lafferty. He's a clever type of jumper. He's got a lot of upside going forward."
The meeting was transferred to Casterton from Warrnambool following heavy rain over the past 10 days.
Five jumps races were on the nine-race program.
Riding honours for the jumps races were shared with jockeys Steven Pateman, Tom Sadler, Shane Jackson, Tom Ryan and Adam Roustoby all booting home winners.
Robbie Laing, Brett Charry, Patrick Payne and Terry O'Sullivan trained jumps winners.
