WO 12th (6:34pm ET): Woodbine Mile (G1), 3+, 1m-T (DD)

Superb group for this with International invaders peppering the pot. Both Casse’s have my vote as World Approval (7-2) may turn out to be best at this trip like brother Miesque’s Approval and Conquest Panthera (12-1) tractable at various distances and perfect in 2 tries over this lawn. Deauville (5-2) beaten less than 2 by Ribchester & Mutakayyef in Queen Anne going the mile and always fired in North American visits. Pace may be faster than projected on paper and classy veteran Mondialiste (8-1) will make a run as he did winning this 2 years ago. Second to Tepin last year, Tower of Texas (12-1) had traffic issues in last and rarely misses a check on his home turf..
