Bookmakers have rated Miss Universe entrant Rachael Finch as Australia's best chance of winning the coveted title since Jen Hawkins did five years ago.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said the agency rated her third most likely to take out this year's title, behind finalists from Peurto Rico and the Dominican Republic.
“Being a brown eyed brunette is no disadvantage in a pageant that is usually taken by the likes of Puerto Rico and Venezuela,” Mr Sullivan said.
“Rachael has the look that often appeals to Miss Universe judges.
“Miss Universe is a very open field given there are beauties from all around the world but $12 is the shortest for an Australian since Jennifer Hawkins took the crown.”
