SELVAN'S FINGER ON THE TRIGGER

Second-year trainer Nick Selvan clearly intends to continue making his presence felt in Malaysia.

Off to a remarkable 10th-place finish on 26 winners at his first season in 2023 despite a late start, the 56-year-old has already outscored himself with 35 winners at his sophomore year, sitting fifth on the present log.

There is hardly a Malaysian race day that goes by without the Kuala Lumpur handler visiting the winner's circle, boasting a handy strike rate of 14.5 per cent to boot.

Last week, he won one race in Sungai Besi with Buuraq Sixty-One, and the week before it was Titan Pegasus at the same venue.

Aiming even higher, the former assistant trainer to ex-Kranji trainer Stephen Gray will pack his suitcase if it can bring more success to his stables.
