It was Odermatt’s fourth podium finish at the resort in the Italian Dolomites but he’s never been better than second.
The Swiss standout said the course-set wasn’t challenging enough for his characteristics.
“For me, coming from a giant slalom background, it’s not easy without any turns,” Odermatt said.
Fredrik Moeller of Norway finished fourth to match his result in a super-G in Beaver Creek, Colorado, two weeks ago.
French contender Cyprien Sarrazin went off course early in his run and Daniel Danklmaier of Austria straddled a gate midway down and tumbled over.
The 34-year-old Casse’s previous best result was third — three times, including in the Val Gardena downhill two years ago.
The downhill is scheduled for Saturday on the Saslong before the circuit moves to nearby Alta Badia.
Meanwhile, Lindsey Vonn is slated to make her comeback from retirement in the women’s races in St. Moritz, Switzerland, this weekend.
