About
Simply Better is a 6yo bay mare from Australia, trained by Wayne Wilkes from Muswellbrook. She is out of Sweet As and by Better Than Ready. To date she has recorded six victories. Her biggest triumph came on 12 Feb 2023 at Sunshine Coast, where she captured the $28,000 Qtis 3-y-o Bm62 Handicap. Punters have found her consistently rewarding; a full-career backer would have realized a 119% ROI.
