[racket] typed racket, filters, and polymorphism

Is it possible to have a struct that does certain things according to the guard?
#lang typed/racket

(struct (a) foo ([a : a]) #:transparent
  #:guard (lambda (a _)
            (unless (exact-integer? a)
              (error 'foo "expected Integer, given ~v" a))
            a))

(ann (foo (ann 1 Any)) (foo Integer))

(: x : (foo Any))
(define x (foo 1))

(ann (foo-a x) Integer)

;. Type Checker: Polymorphic function `foo1' could not be applied to arguments:
;Argument 1:
;  Expected: a
;  Given:    Any
;
;Result type:     (foo a)
;Expected result: (foo Integer)
; in: (foo (ann 1 Any))
;. Type Checker: Polymorphic function `foo-a' could not be applied to arguments:
;Argument 1:
;  Expected: (foo a)
;  Given:    (foo Any)
;
;Result type:     (a : ....)
;Expected result: Integer
; in: (foo-a x)
