1 - Freeman - a man among boys...I am surprised he picked this show though and didn't wait until the Arnold...guess he wants to add to his list of shows won
2 - Dave Henry - if only he were a bit bigger, he'd be unreal! Someday will get his props
3 - Dugdale - hasn't competed since this show last year...he should have improvements in his physique by this show
4 - Haidar - he's been doing pro shows for 9 years...2006 was a tough year for his placings...he bounces back here
5 - Deckard - gotta have a rookie in the top 5 with a small show like this one
Hopefully with the addition of 2 more Olympia spots (5 total) up for grabs and the increase in prize money, we will see some more pro's jump in at the last minute!

Given that this is only a couple weeks before the Arnold, you'd think that some of the likely Arnold participants might show up here. I'd be hard pressed to see someone gunning to win the Arnold (Dex, Victor, Phil, maybe Gustavo) try to peak before the big show, but seeing a Ruhl or Johnnie Jackson or Darrem wouldn't totally surprise me.
Curious as to the line-up for the Sacramento show a week later...
Look for Freeman and Henry to battle it out for 1st and 2nd. If Freeman is off then Henry will surpass him IMO. Henry's conditioning is always spot on so I don't think that'll be an issue. However, I think Henry's legs are lacking to a certain degree...So we shall seee.
Dugdale is my favorite going into the show. Dueling with Freeman and Henry could be tough, but, he has had a year off to make some solid and I'm nearly certain he'll come in looking better than ever. DUUUUUUUUUGDALE!!!
I predict...
1st - David Henry
2nd - Toney Freeman
3rd - Mark DUGALE
