The Robert and Todd Harvey-trained Apparition has returned to the winners’ stall for the first time in more than a year, proving too strong for his rivals at Narrogin Racing Club on Friday as part of an eight-race card.

Apparition settled worse than midfield before getting to the outside at the top of the straight to win the 2-1 Get It Right In Your Feed Bowl Handicap (1900m) by 0.8 lengths for Troy Turner.

Boyish was able to make it back-to-back wins at the Narrogin track after leading all the way for Simone Altieri to win the Fiber Fresh Feeds Australia Handicap (930m).
