San Felipe attracts unbeaten Dortmund, Ocho Ocho Ocho

San Felipe attracts unbeaten Dortmund, Ocho Ocho Ocho

Prospect Park (Tapit), who dropped his first three outings at two, has come

on this winter with back-to-back scores against maiden and allowance company,

the latter by more than five lengths going a mile on January 30. The San Felipe

marks his stakes debut.

Also likely to attract support are Lord Nelson (Pulpit), most recently a neck

winner over Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1) winner Texas Red (Afleet Alex) in the

seven-furlong San Vicente (G2), and Bolo (Temple City), who makes his dirt debut

after an easy win in the December 27 Eddie Logan on turf.

Among the others, the most notable are San Vicente third Sir Samson (Smart

Strike), the multiple stakes-placed California-bred Pulmarack (Lucky Pulpit),

and stakes winner Pain and Misery (Bob and John).

Conquest Two Step (Two Step Salsa), who ran Shared Belief (Candy Ride) to a

neck in the Malibu (G1) before scoring in the Palos Verdes (G2) last time, will

attempt to make it two in a row in the $250,000

San Carlos

(G2) over seven furlongs.

Back to challenge is Wild Dude (Wildcat Heir), the 2014 Palos Verdes hero who

ran third in this year's edition in his first start start in more than nine

months. Grade 3 winner Chitu (Henny Hughes), winner of the $101,000 Damascus on

Breeders' Cup weekend, makes his first start of the year after closing out 2014

with a narrow third in the Malibu.

Other notables in the San Carlos lineup are Grade 3 winners Kobe's Back

(Flatter) and Midnight Hawk (Midnight Lute), and the Jerry Hollendorfer-trained

Outside Nashville (Broken Vow), a non-factor when shipped east last month for

the General George H. (G3) at Laurel.

The $75,000

China Doll,

a one-mile turf race for three-year-old fillies, is populated by a number who

contested the $79,000 Sweet Life on February 15. The top four finishers from

that race -- She's a Big Winner (Bellamy Road), Bobbi Grace (Big Bad Bob),

Spirit of Xian (Kodiac), and Mio Me (Eskendereya) -- all return.

Blue Norther heroine Lutine Belle (Bellamy Road) returns to turf after

finishing fifth in the Las Virgenes (G1) on dirt, while Maybellene (Lookin at

Lucky) tries the surface for the first time after finishing eighth of nine as

the Las Virgenes favorite.

Another intriguing entry is the Carla Gaines-trained Curlin's Fox (Curlin), a

debut winner down the hill in early February.
