SHIFACHI TRADITION began awkwardly and lost ground. From wide barriers, YOUNG TALENT and JOLLY GOOD were taken across behind runners shortly after the start. Passing the winning post on the first occasion, YOUNG TALENT momentarily raced tight inside KING HARADASUN which got its head on the side and shifted in when awkwardly placed close to the heels of RAY’S FAVOURITE. Passing the 1000 Metres, DIAMOND START commenced to prove difficult to settle and shifted out away from the heels of DANZULU. DIAMOND START continued to prove difficult to settle for some distance after this. A veterinary inspection of OPTIMIZATION STAR immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of OPTIMIZATION STAR, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, OPTIMIZATION STAR will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in an official barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. BULLISH BOY and YOUNG TALENT were sent for sampling.
