HIGH ALTITUDE is well handicapped and finished well after being forced to switch when third over C&D earlier in the week, and ran well again here on Saturday, so a chance is taken on him in a wide-open event. Improving 3yo, Li Mu Bai, is an obvious threat following a solid showing over C&D 6 days ago, and Phantom Power's chance can't be ignored.
