My Pick
I think this is Second Step’s race to lose. He finished fourth at the Irish St. Leger last month, but that was over a distance of 1 3/4 miles, which is the longest he’s ever run. At 1 1/2 miles, which is the length of the Canadian International, Second Step has won 3 of his last 4 races and he looks to have found his best over his last race at this distance two months ago in Berlin.
Cannock Chase at 7/2 just ran his first race of 1 1/2 miles last month and although he won it, his time of 2:32 is 2 seconds slower than Second Step’s time from Berlin.
I do think it will come down to those two horses, but if you’re looking for a horse with longer odds I like Canadian horse Up With The Birds. This horse has shown the speed in the past to be able to compete with these two, but the problem is he may be past his prime at 5 years old.
Top Play: Second Step 3/1
