After backing a big winner in the last at Newcastle midweek, racing guru Prof. Robert Furlongsworth is all over a 4YO Godolphin star to impress at Randwick on Saturday.
Race 5, 1200m
Hall Mark Stakes
Vilana ($2.45, $1.28)
Exploded from the pack to win the Silver Eagle in impressive fashion first-up last preparation.
Unextended in two recent trials, he won’t be fazed by any give in the ground and can get the chocolates here ahead of another possible Brisbane campaign.
VILANA wins the The Hunter for @godolphin!
Jockey @nashhot gets the best out of Vilana in a stirring battle with In The Congo to claim the $1m feature at @newcastleraces_ with the winner’s stablemate Gravina in third. @tabcomau pic.twitter.com/Laql9b0fsS

Race 6, 2000m
JRA PLATE
Pink Ivory ($13,00, $4.00)
Capable mare who should have finished a bit closer last time out having been hampered in the closing stages.
She’s racing well and looks decent value in an open affair.
