Omega Perfume Soars in G1 Tokyo Daishoten

[Wandering Eyes]

Defending champion Omega Perfume (Jpn) (Swept Overboard) came from off the pace to annex his second consecutive victory in the G1 Tokyo Daishonten at Oi Sunday. Crowded slightly right after the start, the grey was eased back off the early pace and remained two abreast in the second flight, about three lengths off the leading pack. Asked for more and delivering turning for home, Omega Perfume was fanned out several paths wide as he straightened at the top of the lane and took dead aim at 13-10 favorite Gold Dream (Jpn) (Gold Allure {Jpn}), who had fought his way to a narrow advantage. Moving better than that rival late, Omega Perfume gradually overtook Gold Dream and had enough left in reserve to fend off the oncoming Nonkono Yume (Jpn) (Twining) at the wire. Mogiana Flavor (Jpn) (Battle Plan) closed for third.

Victorious in the G3 Sirius S. last September, the grey subsequently closed out the season with a narrow score in this event. With a trio of placings from five prior starts this term, including a win in the Listed Teio Sho in June followed by and a runner-up effort in the JBC Classic in November, the Shadai Farm bred finished sixth most recently in the G1 Champions Cup Dec. 1.

Omega Fragrance produced a colt by Roses In May this year and was among the first book of mares bred to Mind Your Biscuits.
