** Jefferies says Australian top retailer Woolworths' WOW.AX logistics Moorebank hub sits at a sweet spot, tapping rail links, arterial roads and port access to sharpen its supply chain edge
** Brokerage expects the hub to shave supply-chain costs, ease store labour and lift store availability
** Sees the facilities ramping far quicker than co's critical Melbourne South Regional Distribution Centre, with tech tweaks and earlier learnings set to amplify gains
** However, flags that much of the upside will likely be ploughed back into the business
** Stock down 3.6% YTD as of last close
