The Valley Preview: Spring Hopes Resume At The Valley
3 years ago - Sportingbase
TWO horses, Interpretation and Urban Oasis, who could be players in major spring staying races kick off their preparations in the feature event the Travis Harrison Cup (1600m) at The Valley on Saturday.
The Ciaron Maher and Dave Eustace trained Interpretation started in last year’s Melbourne Cup but failed to finish.
Eustace told Racing.Com that they didn’t have an explanation as to why Interpretation struggled in the Melbourne Cup after he had shown promise during the spring with his form including a third in The Bart Cummings.

Eustace said Interpretation pulled up in 100 percent condition after the Melbourne Cup.
The stable decided to give him a nice spell and bypass the Sydney autumn and the Brisbane Cup.
They have gelded Interpretation and intend to set him for the major Cup races again. He will be ridden by Tom Stockdale. PlayUp has him at $11.
Flemington trainer Nick Ryan is sweating on Urban Oasis gaining a start in the race as he is the first emergency.
Urban Oasis hasn’t started since winning the Ulster Derby in Belfast in June 2022.
He has finished on strongly in 800 metres jump-outs at Flemington and Ryan told Racing.Com he should be suited by the 1600 metres first-up.
Ryan intends to enter Urban Oasis for the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups.
Urban Oasis is $6.50 with PlayUp. Equal favourites are Jimmy The Bear and Chief Altony.
