Sunday saw Damian Lane complete a stakes double at Tokyo Racecourse. After securing victory in the feature race, the Japanese Derby, Lane guided Heat On Beat to an initial Graded stakes victory in the G2 Meguro Kinen. Diastima finished second, a head behind the winner, after failing to hold on to the lead in the dying strides. Saliera came home in third after Diastima.

Heat on Beat is a son of King Kamehameha out of Marcellina, by Deep Impact. Second favourite Pradaria finished fifth.
