Punters Happy to back Newcastle runner

Happy Clapper is the horse punters wan't in the Newcastle Newmarket

Chetwood has been a costly conveyance this Autumn, although Sportsbet.com.au stilled opened him favourite to take out the Newcastle Newmarket Handicap (1400m) this Friday at Newcastle but punters disagreed.

The Godolphin galloper was disappointing in the Australia Stakes first up before going to the Liverpool Cup where he sat on speed at a hot tempo and caved in late. He opened at $3.20 but has been a notable drifter since markets opened and now sits on the second line of betting at $3.60.

Happy Clapper, who dodged Winx in the George Ryder, has been heavily backed from $4.00 into his current quote of $3.10. The in form Snippets Land sits at $7.50 followed by Vanbrugh at $7.50.
