About

Mandara Sun is a 5yo bay mare from Australia trained by Robbie Griffiths. She is by The Autumn Sun out of Mandawara. So far she has claimed two wins. Her most notable victory arrived on 18 May 2025 at Sale, where she captured the $35,000 2yo+ Benchmark 58 Handicap. She has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing her for her entire career would have produced a 194% return on investment.
