Adam Robertson went on a tear last year at Bells. He'd love nothing more than to repeat that performance again this year at the Rip Curl Pro. And while it will be harder for Robertson to sneak up on everyone unnoticed this time around, that doesn't mean he's any easier to stop.

Robertson (right) won the Victorian trials again Sunday, earning another shot at dismantling the ASP's best surfers as the waiting period begins today. Given his performance last year, Robertson should be a favorite pick among Fantasy Action Sports players. As any skilled player will tell you it never hurts to wait until the Round One heats are finalized.

The best bargains out there right now are undoubtedly the three wild card entries. Robertson has nothing left to prove after his effort last year. But he's hardly alone. At Bells he will be joined by Gabriel Medina and Stu Kennedy. All three are coming in red hot.

Medina (below) has been wreaking havoc in the competitive ranks, though he's still somebody who lives under the radar to the average U.S. surfing fan. Trust me...the 16-year-old goofy-footer from Brazil has a bright red "can't miss" tag on him after winning a 6-Star WQS in Brazil, the ISA World Junior Games, and the Quiksilver King of the Groms event in France. He's got a bright future ahead of him, and it's one that could start as early as this week.

The final wild card to consider is Stu Kennedy, who is coming to Bells hot off his win at the O'Neill Cold Water Classic in Tasmania. I suggest you take a look at the video highlights of that contest and decide for yourself how his style will translate to the walls at Bells. Kennedy (below right) is from Lennox Head, which -- like Bells -- is a right point break that sits in the middle of what can be (at times) a vicious wind tunnel. Surfing well in a stiff breeze is hardly easy, but Kennedy made it look that way in Tasmania. Victoria will feel like familiar turf.

Of course, the wild cards will have their hands full with the likes of Mick, Joel, Kelly and crew. But they're more likely to have an edge if conditions are marginal, which, as of Tuesday morning at Bells, they are. The forecast is calling for small surf through the week. And rumor is the Rip Curl crew has too much invested in their Bells venue (with music and movie festivals) to move things up or down the coast in a hurry. My theory is Wild Cards don't need as much motivation when the conditions are spotty. Fair warning: my random walk theories didn't hold up at Snapper.

That said. Bells has traditionally been a place where upsets occur so often they're hardly considered upsets. I think one of these horses is going to make a run. The beauty is they're priced where you can hold all three. Happy trading.
