The two Western Cape-based geldings, TRIPPING THUNDER and VICTOR HUGO, could fight out their local debuts. The former was only just ousted as favourite in his last start and should have every chance jumping from gate No 1. VICTOR HUGO has also been costly to follow but had excuses in his last start. He can reward followers at the sixth time of asking. GALACTIC LOVER is holding form and has earning potential again. ARISTOCRATIC could be the first-timer to follow. The Dean Kannemeyer -trained colt has drawn well and could be well placed on debut.
