Gierkink: Woodbine Horses to Watch for week of Oct. 19

DYNAMITE KID
Trainer: Mark Casse
Last race: Oct. 18, 3rd
Finish: 3rd by 4 1/4
Beyer: 59
He got loose briefly after the post parade, and then got away slowly before closing belatedly from 10 lengths back. The $100,000 2-year-old purchase by Northern Afleet should be better for the experience.

SOPHIA’S SONG
Trainer: Sid Attard
Last race: Oct. 18, 1st
Finish: 2nd by 5 1/4
Beyer: 58
She had worked nicely prior to debuting in a six-furlong maiden special for juvenile fillies, and she finished a clear second behind the well-regarded winner. The daughter of Bellamy Road figures to break through by the end of the meet.

STRUT THE COURSE
Trainer: Barb Minshall
Last race: Oct. 18, 8th
Finish: 4th by 2
Beyer: 96
The leading older female at Woodbine, she ran her usual strong race against a solid contingent of Europeans in the Grade 1 E.P. Taylor Stakes. After awaiting room in the stretch, she rallied to finish just a half-length back of runner-up Talmada.
