False Statement brings strong recent form and extensive distance experience to this race. While he hasn't raced at Albany before, his class and consistency should see him competitive despite the wide barrier. The Turner/Forbes-Ives combination is a plus.
Said No One Ever is a proven Albany performer who won the Albany Cup last year. The heavy track conditions will suit, and the inside barrier is advantageous. However, the top weight and lack of wins at this shorter distance are concerns.
The Faithfull family connection is a plus, but inconsistent recent form and limited success at this distance temper expectations. Worth including in exotics.
