Miss Australia Jessica Kahawaty is a good chance of following in the famous footsteps of Jennifer Hawkins after being priced at $26 by online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au to be crowned Miss Universe 2012.
Kahawaty is on the fourth line of betting, with Miss Mexico and Miss Peru the joint favourites at $15.
“Living up to Jen Hawkins is no mean feat, but Jessica is some hope of following suit,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.
“One thing is for sure though, punters will enjoy studying the form in what is a very open race.”
Miss Australia is at shorter odds than countries including New Zealand ($34), Sweden ($34), Brazil ($41) and the Netherlands ($51).
