The Casterton Racing Club will host its marquee race day this Sunday afternoon as the $50,000 Casterton Cup headlines a nine-race program. With the track rated as a Soft 5 and the club announcing it will water the surface more over the weekend, it is expected to remain in that range. The rail will be in its true position for the entire circuit, with the opening race of Casterton Cup Day scheduled to jump at 11:55am AEST.
Casterton Cup Tip: Thunder Point
Thunder Point was last seen at the Warrnambool Racing Carnival, where the Symon Wilde-trained gelding raced twice within three days and was unlucky not to win in his most recent start over 1700m. The son of Host had to carry 62.5kg on speed and was just beaten by The Creator after his rivals received a much more economical run. Although Thunder Point steps up to 2000m for the first time, he drops 7kg and should go close in the 2024 Casterton Cup.

Best Bet at Casterton: Tom Foolery
Tom Foolery heads to Casterton after an impressive display at the Warrnambool May Racing Carnival. The John Leek Jnr-trained jumper careered away from his rivals over 3450m to record a four-length win before running an impressive third in the Grand Annual Steeplechase over 5500m the next day. With Will Gordon back into the saddle, Tom Foolery just needs to get around safely and he will prove extremely hard to beat.

Next Best at Casterton: Sasqualah
Although Sasqualah needs a scratching to get into the field, the lightly raced four-year-old mare from the Symon Wilde yard was very good when she finished a narrow second behind Romantic Choice at Warrnambool over 1100m. If she gains a start, this daughter of Magnus will rise in trip to 1200m second-up while dropping 3kg. If Linda Meech can settle midfield and find a back to follow, Sasqualah will be finishing off strongly down the outside.
