About
Lunar Eight, a 5yo bay mare from Australia, is trained by Toby Edmonds on the Gold Coast. She is by Merchant Navy out of Coconut Dream and has recorded three victories to date. Her standout triumph came on 30 Oct 2024 at Doomben, where she captured the $38000.00 F&M Benchmark 68 Handicap. Punters have found her to be a money‑maker; a lifelong backing would have yielded a 3% return on investment.
