The pick: #6 Sincerito (4/1)

Carlos E Caban · Angel Castillo

Named sheet edge: leads the blended late graph (LP rank 1, 88%) for Carlos E Caban/Angel Castillo in the day's free race — by 9 points, a marginal gap that is not itself the separator. What carries the pick: his raw late figure, the strongest among the off-pace runners, plus the route setup — Docsgotallthecandy (E1 91%) and What It Tiz press early with River's Gamble and Carry Grant, so the early pace is contested in this 1m70y route and the S closer's finishing figure is the one the setup falls to when the speed tires.
