About

Giovanna Star is a 4yo brown or black mare from Australia, trained by Dean Mirfin in Bathurst. She is by the stallion Spieth out of the dam Giovanina. So far she has recorded two wins. Her biggest triumph came on 25 Apr 2025 at Bathurst, when she secured the $30,000 Class 1 Handicap. She has been a profitable runner for punters, delivering a 46% return on investment for those who backed her throughout her career.
