Olive Backs Young Rider Kissick

Trainer Nick Olive is enthusiastic about the Canterbury chances of Fullerton, but his best advice for the midweek meeting is to follow the young jockey riding the horse.  Olive will use the 3 kilograms claim of John Kissick in the tab.com.au Handicap (1900m) on Wednesday in what he expects to be a forerunner to a lot more city appearances for the country-based apprentice.  "I've just started using John a bit and I like the way he rides," Olive said.  "He has been making a name for himself in the country for about 12 months now and expect to see more and more of him in town during the winter months with trainers taking advantage of his claim.  "Fullerton will have his first middle-distance of a campaign which began three starts ago with a Canterbury sprint win.  Olive is convinced the five-year-old is looking for further in his races.  His assessment is based on Fullerton's last-start Warwick Farm placing in a race which produced a subsequent stakes winner in Mouro.  "He was left a bit flat-footed when the sprint went on in that race and he was a bit dour, which says he is looking for more ground now," Olive said.
