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..

Most Likely: #1 World Approval 7-2 WON ($6.70)
Next Best: #6 Deauville 5-2 11th
Best Value: #7 Conquest Panthera 12-1 7th
Exotics Use: #8 Mondialiste 8-1 4th
Super Add: #2 Tower of Texas 12-1 8th

Tough sequence for me because you have 3 possible universal singles in the first 3 races, but I find myself 2 and 3 deep and wanting to single Defiant Honor.
Good luck today Steve.

"XC-pick 5" play :

Leg #1 : 1/3
Leg #2 : 3/8/10
Leg #3 : 8
Leg #4 : 6/9/10
Leg #5 : 1/6

The 3 is my other horse in the 1st leg as well. I have a friend who loves her.

What did the WO-BEL P5 pay? I can't seem to find it.

$1,445 ~ .20 WO/BEL P5 (1-3/11-7-1/5/6-1) Paid $289.01

Paid huge if you ask me.

Thank you.
