Alternate Selection (Scratch Protection) #3 — Bengalese

TPN: 85 | Win Probability: 11%

Angle: A lone need-the-lead type who could steal the race if allowed to dictate the tempo uncontested. Scratch Rule: This runner moves into the #3 slot if any Top 3 selection is scratched.

Race 2 — Clm 25000n2L / $38,000 / 1 Mile (Dirt)

AI Confidence Rank: #4

Combined Win % (Top 3): 65%

AI Pace Projection: Projected Race Shape: Contested Duel

TPN: 91 | Win Probability: 17%

The Setup: Dropping in class today while returning to the main dirt surface. The Edge: Possesses strong base class figures from her synthetic form that make her a severe closing threat if she transfers her late kick to the dirt. TrackSmart Alert: Class Drop Angle

The Machine’s Final Analysis

The Machine gives the nod to So Vain, who brings the most consistent dirt figures into this moderate claiming event. If the pace gets entirely out of hand, Yolo is the statistical wildcard who can sweep past them all late on the class drop.

Alternate Selection (Scratch Protection) #6 — Saratoga Sunset

TPN: 83 | Win Probability: 11%

Angle: Stepping up in class but flashes enough gate burst to be dangerous if she miraculously clears early.

Scratch Rule: This runner moves into the #3 slot if any Top 3 selection is scratched.

#6 — Mia Nipotina

TPN: 91 | Win Probability: 15%

The Setup: Dropping in class today into a field packed with cheap early speed. The Edge: Fits the profile of a mid-pack stalker who will drop back early and let the front-runners collapse before launching her closing bid.

The Machine’s Final Analysis

The Machine is heavily fading the front-runners due to the extreme likelihood of a pace collapse. That'sthefactjack has the ideal runstyle to sit back, save ground, and blow past the exhausted leaders in the final furlong.

Alternate Selection (Scratch Protection) #4 — Widdershins

TPN: 80 | Win Probability: 9%

Angle: Dropping in class and possesses early foot, but highly vulnerable to the projected pace duel. Scratch Rule:

#5 — Egyptian

TPN: 88 | Win Probability: 14%

The Setup: Stepping up in class today, but his recent speed validates the class jump. The Edge: A tactical presser who fits well with today's setup, maintaining competitive base class figures despite the tougher assignment.

The Machine’s Final Analysis

The Machine envisions a dominant wire-to-wire performance from Seeker's Hope. When a horse with this much algorithmic speed advantage is allowed to dictate terms without severe pressure, they rarely get caught by closing types.

Alternate Selection (Scratch Protection) #3 — Moment's Notice

TPN: 84 | Win Probability: 11%

Angle: Stepping up in class but consistently hits the board and can track the pace effectively. Scratch Rule: This runner moves into the #3 slot if any Top 3 selection is scratched.

#6 — Texas Red Hot

TPN: 89 | Win Probability: 15%

The Setup: Continuing at this lower classification while seeking a form rebound. The Edge: A deep closer who owns dangerous base class figures and will rely on his late kick if the leaders duel too aggressively.

The Machine’s Final Analysis

The Machine identifies Aleah Aleah as the controlling speed of the race, but Brew Pub is a relentless grinder who will not let the leader out of his sights. The race boils down to whether the front-runner can sustain his speed against the consistent pressure of the veteran presser.

Alternate Selection (Scratch Protection) #2 — Skylander

TPN: 82 | Win Probability: 10%

Angle: Maintaining a lateral class placement and projects for a ground-saving trip from the inside post. Scratch Rule: This runner moves into the #3 slot if any Top 3 selection is scratched.

Track: Finger Lakes

Race Date: 10/14/2026

Prepared By: TrackSmart AI's Advanced Artificial Intelligence Racing Engine

Every race features AI-driven pace projections, Top 3 win contenders, and upset alerts — designed exclusively for players at SaratogaBets, BataviaBets, EmpireCityBets, and Capital OTB.

The Machine operates independently of the Morning Line. Unlike standard handicapping models that lean on public sentiment or oddsmaker predictions, TrackSmart AI generates its figures blind—before the Morning Line is even released. Pure Fundamental Analysis: AI selections are derived 100% from performance data, pace mechanics, and class algorithms. The Machine does not know who the "favorite" is supposed to be.

Race 1 — Claiming $7,500 / 1 Mile (Dirt)

AI Confidence Rank: #5    Combined Win % (Top 3): 73%

AI Pace Projection & Race Dynamics

Projected Race Shape: Contested / Honest-Fast — an honest tempo, though how the early speed sorts out is uncertain.

Early Speed Edge (TS Ignition / TS Surge): #6 Thirty Oysters and #3 It's Not Over Yet hook up early, with Thirty Oysters holding a B- TS Surge and It's Not Over Yet a C+ TS Surge.

Late Kick Advantage (TS Closer): #2 Mayheminthepalace holds the field's top A TS Closer grade.

Deep Flow Analysis: The break sees #6 Thirty Oysters and #3 It's Not Over Yet commit to the front early, setting up a contested dynamic on the engine. Through the turn, the pace stays honest as neither front-runner is likely to yield easily. In the stretch, #2 Mayheminthepalace sits the ideal tracking trip and inherits the setup to roll past the tiring leaders, with #5 Rock Star Rebel also projecting to get first run from a stalking spot.

The Pace Beneficiary: #2 Mayheminthepalace — the Chaos Survivor who holds the late kick.

The Machine's Selections

#2 — Mayheminthepalace

Normalized TPN: 100 | Win Probability: 28%

The Setup: Drops in class off a steady three-to-four-week rhythm, last seen 14 days ago.

The Edge: An A TS Closer paired with an A TS Caliber and A TS Power Score gives him the strongest profile on paper, and his Normalized TPN leads the next rival by 3 points.

TrackSmart Alert: Class Drop, Best Late Kick

#5 — Rock Star Rebel

Normalized TPN: 97 | Win Probability: 24%

The Setup: Drops in class and has raced consistently without gaps, last seen 30 days ago.

The Edge: A B+ TS Velocity, B+ TS Caliber and an A- TS Closer make him the logical stalker as the Garden Spot horse, sitting just 3 points of Normalized TPN behind the top pick.

TrackSmart Alert: Class Drop

#3 — It's Not Over Yet

Normalized TPN: 95 | Win Probability: 21%

The Setup: Steps up in class after his figures moved forward last out.

The Edge: Posted an A- TS Velocity grade last time and owns a B TS Power Score, but needs the lead against a rival with similar speed; his Normalized TPN sits 5 points off the leader.

TrackSmart Alert: Speed Authority Play

#6 — Thirty Oysters

Normalized TPN: 93 | Win Probability: 16%

The Setup: Won last out and stays in rhythm, though he steps up in class today.

The Edge: A B+ TS Velocity grade is his calling card, but a C+ TS Caliber and need-the-lead style against a contested front end keep him a notch below the top three.

The Machine's Final Analysis

Thirty Oysters and It's Not Over Yet should trade blows through the early stages, handing the race to a horse that can wait. Mayheminthepalace's A TS Closer grade, class drop and top Normalized TPN make him the most likely to collect, with Rock Star Rebel the main threat from a stalking spot.

Alternate Selection (Scratch Protection)

#4 — Prophetic

Normalized TPN: 86 | Win Probability: 8%

Angle: Drops in class, but declining TS Velocity grades are the concern and keep him behind the top four.

Scratch Rule: This runner moves into the #4 slot if any Top 4 selection is scratched.

Race 2 — Maiden / $32,600 / 1 Mile (Dirt)

AI Confidence Rank: #3    Combined Win % (Top 3): 76%

AI Pace Projection & Race Dynamics

Projected Race Shape: Unsettled — early speed unproven, with soft fractions likely but the early sort uncertain.

Early Speed Edge (TS Ignition / TS Surge): No proven controlling speed; early speed is unsettled.

Late Kick Advantage (TS Closer): #2 Rockstar Babe holds the Garden Spot tracking just off the pace with a C+ TS Closer grade, while #5 Avery County carries the field's top A- TS Closer grade.

Deep Flow Analysis: The break sees a largely unproven field sorting itself out, leaving the early pace highly unsettled. Through the turn, the lack of committed front-runners keeps the tempo soft and manageable for whoever finds the front. In the stretch, #2 Rockstar Babe sits the ideal stalking spot with a clean trip and first run, and #5 Avery County should be involved if she breaks cleanly.

The Pace Beneficiary: #2 Rockstar Babe — the Garden Spot horse tracking just off the pace.

The Machine's Selections

#4 — Little Finch

Normalized TPN: 98 | Win Probability: 32%

The Setup: A four-year-old with two career starts, returning off a layoff in a lateral class move.

The Edge: An A TS Caliber and A TS Power Score back a B+ TS Velocity, and steady four-furlong drills signal strong morning readiness; her Normalized TPN leads the next rival by 6 points.

TrackSmart Alert: Class Edge, Fresh Legs

#3 — The Gael

Normalized TPN: 92 | Win Probability: 24%

The Setup: Extremely active on a tight schedule, last seen 21 days ago, in a softer spot at the same level.

The Edge: A B+ TS Caliber and B+ TS Power Score outline a solid profile, and her Normalized TPN sits 3 points clear of Avery County.

TrackSmart Alert: Softer Spot

#5 — Avery County

Normalized TPN: 89 | Win Probability: 20%

The Setup: Retains fitness from a recent Iowa campaign and moves laterally in class.

The Edge: An A- TS Closer is the best late kick in the field, supported by a B TS Velocity and B TS Power Score; she benefits if the pace collapses.

TrackSmart Alert: Late Kick Danger

#2 — Rockstar Babe

Normalized TPN: 83 | Win Probability: 13%

The Setup: Holding steady form with regular breezes, in a lateral move.

The Edge: Tracking trip from an inside post, but a C+ TS Velocity and C+ TS Closer put her 15 points of Normalized TPN behind the top pick; a value-only angle.

The Machine's Final Analysis

With no proven speed, Little Finch and The Gael should find themselves forwardly placed by default. Little Finch's A TS Caliber, A TS Power Score and top Normalized TPN make her the most likely to prove best, with The Gael the logical threat and Avery County the late-kick danger.

Alternate Selection (Scratch Protection)

#1 — Scarlett Queen

Normalized TPN: 78 | Win Probability: 7%

Angle: Has not won beyond a sprint and recent form has faded, making the stretch-out a question.

Scratch Rule: This runner moves into the #4 slot if any Top 4 selection is scratched.

Race 3 — Claiming $11,000 (N2L) / 6 Furlongs (Dirt)

AI Confidence Rank: #4    Combined Win % (Top 3): 74%

AI Pace Projection & Race Dynamics

Projected Race Shape: Crowded Early Speed — an honest tempo, though how the early speed sorts out is uncertain.

Early Speed Edge (TS Ignition / TS Surge): No lone controlling speed; early positions are contested. #6 Constant Chaos and #4 Allofasuddenlee are the pressing speed horses, each with a C+ TS Ignition.

Late Kick Advantage (TS Closer): #2 Sunday's Currency tracks just off the heat with a B- TS Closer, while #5 Montauk Memoirs holds the field's strongest B+ TS Closer grade.

Deep Flow Analysis: The break sees #4 Allofasuddenlee and #6 Constant Chaos commit to the front early, creating a crowded dynamic on the engine. Through the turn, the pace remains honest as neither front-runner is likely to yield easily. In the stretch, #2 Sunday's Currency sits the tracking trip to capitalize on the tiring leaders, and #5 Montauk Memoirs will also be rallying late.

The Pace Beneficiary: #2 Sunday's Currency — the Chaos Survivor who inherits the setup.

The Machine's Selections

#5 — Montauk Memoirs

Normalized TPN: 100 | Win Probability: 30%

The Setup: Drops in class on sharp recent form, last seen 14 days ago.

The Edge: A B+ TS Velocity, B+ TS Caliber and B+ TS Closer give him the most complete profile in the field, and his Normalized TPN leads Sunday's Currency by 5 points.

TrackSmart Alert: Class Drop, Perfect Setup

#2 — Sunday's Currency

Normalized TPN: 95 | Win Probability: 24%

The Setup: Drops in class and returns on an 8-day turnaround with fitness assured.

The Edge: An A- TS Caliber and B+ TS Power Score pair with a B- TS Closer, and he sits in the ideal spot to pick up the pieces behind the speed.

TrackSmart Alert: Quick Turnaround

#4 — Allofasuddenlee

Normalized TPN: 92 | Win Probability: 20%

The Setup: Takes a steep drop in class after staying busy on the local circuit.

The Edge: A B TS Caliber and a C+ TS Velocity with a C+ TS Ignition leave him forwardly placed; solid half-mile gate drills show early foot intent.

TrackSmart Alert: Forward Placement

#1 — Im Gunna

Normalized TPN: 86 | Win Probability: 11%

The Setup: Steps up in class on an active schedule with improving numbers.

The Edge: A B TS Caliber and C+ TS Velocity place him behind the top group on figures; value comes only if the pace pressure favors a pace presser.

The Machine's Final Analysis

Allofasuddenlee and Constant Chaos should lock horns early in a crowded, honest pace. Montauk Memoirs stalks cleanly while Sunday's Currency waits to pick up the pieces, and Montauk Memoirs' balanced B+ grade profile and top Normalized TPN make him the most likely winner.

Alternate Selection (Scratch Protection)

#6 — Constant Chaos

Normalized TPN: 86 | Win Probability: 10%

Angle: Early speed profile fits the front end, but he faces direct pressure in a crowded tempo.

Scratch Rule: This runner moves into the #4 slot if any Top 4 selection is scratched.

Race 4 — Claiming $7,500 / 5 1/2 Furlongs (Dirt)

AI Confidence Rank: #5    Combined Win % (Top 3): 71%

AI Pace Projection & Race Dynamics

Projected Race Shape: Crowded Early Speed — a hot tempo, though how the early speed sorts out is uncertain.

Early Speed Edge (TS Ignition / TS Surge): No lone controlling speed; early positions are contested. #4 Sutton Breeze and #3 Stormin Sammy each hold a B+ TS Ignition and B+ TS Surge, with #5 I Got No Munny close behind at B.

Late Kick Advantage (TS Closer): #1 Otto Nipoti holds the Garden Spot tracking just off the pace with a B+ TS Closer, the best in the field.

Deep Flow Analysis: The break sees five horses aiming for forward position, creating a crowded dynamic in which no single runner can clear easily. Through the turn, the pace stays hot as #4 Sutton Breeze and #3 Stormin Sammy lean on each other. In the stretch, #1 Otto Nipoti sits the ideal tracking trip directly behind the speed duel and gets a clean path to first run, with #6 Lookin' Super also projecting to stalk the heavy traffic.

The Pace Beneficiary: #1 Otto Nipoti — the Garden Spot horse.

The Machine's Selections

#4 — Sutton Breeze

Normalized TPN: 100 | Win Probability: 28%

The Setup: A seven-year-old with a deep record at this track, dropping in class, last seen 22 days ago.

The Edge: B+ grades across TS Velocity, TS Caliber, TS Power Score and TS Ignition make him the most proven early speed in a crowded field, and his Normalized TPN leads Otto Nipoti by 4 points.

TrackSmart Alert: Proven Early Speed

#1 — Otto Nipoti

Normalized TPN: 96 | Win Probability: 24%

The Setup: Drops in class on well-spaced starts, last seen 20 days ago.

TrackSmart Alert: Class Drop, Closing Kick

#5 — I Got No Munny

Normalized TPN: 91 | Win Probability: 19%

The Setup: Drops in class off a brief freshening, last seen 39 days ago.

The Edge: An A- TS Caliber is the best in the field and he carries a B TS Ignition, and steady half-mile works show fitness holds.

TrackSmart Alert: Massive Class Edge

#3 — Stormin Sammy

Normalized TPN: 89 | Win Probability: 16%

The Setup: Drops in class and has been highly active, with form leveling off after a busy summer.

The Edge: B+ grades across TS Velocity, TS Caliber and TS Power Score back a B+ TS Ignition, but he faces intense pace heat.

TrackSmart Alert: Dangerous Speed, Pace Heat

The Machine's Final Analysis

Sutton Breeze, Stormin Sammy and I Got No Munny should battle for early control and keep the pace hot. Sutton Breeze's balanced B+ profile and top Normalized TPN make him the most likely winner, with Otto Nipoti the closer set to pounce on a tiring front end.

Alternate Selection (Scratch Protection)

#6 — Lookin' Super

Normalized TPN: 86 | Win Probability: 8%

Angle: Holds a solid tracking spot behind the pace, but overall figures lag behind the top group.

Scratch Rule: This runner moves into the #4 slot if any Top 4 selection is scratched.

Race 5 — Claiming $5,000 / 5 1/2 Furlongs (Dirt)

AI Confidence Rank: #8    Combined Win % (Top 3): 54%

AI Pace Projection & Race Dynamics

Projected Race Shape: Crowded Early Speed — a hot tempo, though how the early speed sorts out is uncertain.

Early Speed Edge (TS Ignition / TS Surge): No lone controlling speed; early positions are contested. #4 Morning Cup holds an A- TS Ignition and A- TS Surge, with #1 Breaking Stones, #6 Mr. Sugar Daddy and #11 Post Facto also pressing.

Late Kick Advantage (TS Closer): #8 Classic Cut holds the Garden Spot tracking just off the pace with a C+ TS Closer.

Deep Flow Analysis: The break sees a massive cluster of eight speed-styled horses vying for early dominance, ensuring a crowded and highly contested front end. Through the turn, the sheer volume of early pressure prevents any single horse from clearing, forcing a hot and extremely busy tempo. In the stretch, #8 Classic Cut sits the tracking trip directly behind the chaos with a clean run at the tiring leaders, and #1 Breaking Stones also projects to stalk the traffic.

The Pace Beneficiary: #8 Classic Cut — the Garden Spot horse.

The Machine's Selections

#4 — Morning Cup

Normalized TPN: 100 | Win Probability: 22%

The Setup: A seven-year-old wheeling back on 8 days' rest at the same level, holding steady fitness.

The Edge: An A- TS Ignition and A- TS Surge give him the clearest early speed in a very busy field, backed by B+ TS Caliber and B+ TS Power Score; his Normalized TPN leads Breaking Stones by 5 points.

TrackSmart Alert: Top TS Power Score

#6 — Mr. Sugar Daddy

Normalized TPN: 93 | Win Probability: 15%

The Setup: Given a breather after a busy stretch, should run well rested in a lateral move.

The Edge: A B+ TS Caliber and B TS Power Score, with a C+ TS Velocity, and he sits just off the heavy pace pressure.

TrackSmart Alert: Fresh, Pace Beneficiary

#8 — Classic Cut

Normalized TPN: 90 | Win Probability: 12%

The Setup: Drops in class with well-spaced starts, last seen 30 days ago.

The Edge: An A- TS Caliber, B+ TS Power Score and B+ TS Ignition and TS Surge pair with a C TS Velocity, and the tactical speed keeps him involved.

TrackSmart Alert: Class Drop, Garden Spot

The Machine's Final Analysis

Eight speed-styled horses make this a volatile, wide-open race with a hot pace likely. Morning Cup's A- early speed grades and top Normalized TPN make him the most likely winner, with Breaking Stones the main threat and Classic Cut the horse set to pick up the pieces.

Alternate Selection (Scratch Protection)

#10 — Uncle George

Normalized TPN: 86 | Win Probability: 8%

Angle: Competitive on Normalized TPN, but the outside post is a tough disadvantage in a crowded speed race.

Scratch Rule: This runner moves into the #4 slot if any Top 4 selection is scratched.

Race 6 — Maiden / $32,600 / 6 Furlongs (Dirt)

AI Confidence Rank: #2    Combined Win % (Top 3): 77%

AI Pace Projection & Race Dynamics

Projected Race Shape: Unsettled — early speed unproven, with an honest tempo likely but the early sort uncertain.

Early Speed Edge (TS Ignition / TS Surge): No proven controlling speed; early speed is unsettled.

Late Kick Advantage (TS Closer): #2 Cozzy Trickstress holds the Garden Spot tracking just off the pace with the field's top B TS Closer grade.

Deep Flow Analysis: The break sees a largely unproven field of juveniles sorting themselves out, leaving the early pace highly unsettled. Through the turn, the lack of committed front-runners keeps the tempo honest but manageable for whoever is on or near the lead. In the stretch, #2 Cozzy Trickstress sits the tracking trip and carries the top TS Closer grade to assert herself late, with #1 Wildest Dreams also involved if she breaks cleanly.

The Pace Beneficiary: #2 Cozzy Trickstress — the Garden Spot horse.

The Machine's Selections

#2 — Cozzy Trickstress

Normalized TPN: 100 | Win Probability: 35%

The Setup: A two-year-old progressing nicely with each run, in a lateral class move.

The Edge: An A- TS Caliber and A TS Power Score, paired with a B TS Velocity and B+ TS Ignition, give her a clear figure advantage; her Normalized TPN leads Autumn Fire by 8 points.

#1 — Wildest Dreams

Normalized TPN: 87 | Win Probability: 17%

The Setup: Drops in class but her figures have stalled early in her career.

The Edge: An A- TS Ignition and a very sharp four-furlong drill signal strong morning readiness, though a D TS Velocity keeps her behind the top two.

TrackSmart Alert: Sharp Morning Drill

#3 — Words of War

Normalized TPN: 83 | Win Probability: 12%

The Setup: A first-time starter with a solid foundation of works, stepping into a soft spot.

The Edge: Without race lines, value rests on consistent works in the AM; a Normalized TPN of 83 puts her a clear tier below the top two.

TrackSmart Alert: Debut Runner

The Machine's Final Analysis

A field of largely unproven juveniles makes the early pace a guessing game, and Cozzy Trickstress is the fastest on paper and should clear them with ease. Her A- TS Caliber, A TS Power Score and top Normalized TPN make her the most likely winner, with Autumn Fire giving chase.

Alternate Selection (Scratch Protection)

#6 — Turbo Charger

Normalized TPN: 78 | Win Probability: 7%

Angle: Has been well back in her starts and needs to show much more to move into the mix.

Scratch Rule: This runner moves into the #4 slot if any Top 4 selection is scratched.

Race 7 — Optional Claiming $8,000 / 6 Furlongs (Dirt)

Late Kick Advantage (TS Closer): #3 Open Soul Autism holds the Garden Spot tracking just off the pace with a B- TS Closer.

Deep Flow Analysis: The break sees a heavy concentration of speed seeking early position, resulting in a contested, crowded front end. Through the turn, the volume of early pressure prevents any single runner from clearing and keeps the tempo hot and demanding. In the stretch, #3 Open Soul Autism sits the tracking trip just behind the dueling leaders with a clean path to pounce, with #2 Troubled Luck also looking to rally from a stalking spot.

The Pace Beneficiary: #3 Open Soul Autism — the Garden Spot horse.

The Machine's Selections

Alternate Selection (Scratch Protection)

#6 — Kaz Music

Normalized TPN: 86 | Win Probability: 8%

Angle: Figures look light against the top group and he needs a collapsing pace to be involved.

Scratch Rule: This runner moves into the #4 slot if any Top 4 selection is scratched.

Race 8 — Claiming $11,000 (N2L) / 1 Mile (Dirt)

AI Confidence Rank: #1    Combined Win % (Top 3): 73%

AI Pace Projection & Race Dynamics

Projected Race Shape: Dominant Speed — a hot tempo with the leaders likely to test each other early.

Early Speed Edge (TS Ignition / TS Surge): #3 Back to Khali shakes loose for an uncontested, hot tempo with an A- TS Ignition and A- TS Surge.

Late Kick Advantage (TS Closer): #2 Tahila holds the field's top B TS Closer grade and is the primary beneficiary of the hot pace.

Deep Flow Analysis: The break sees #3 Back to Khali assert her dominance early and clear the field with a clear capability edge. Through the turn, the pace remains hot but the leader is comfortably in front, dictating terms without serious pressure. In the stretch, #3 Back to Khali carries her speed home while #2 Tahila sits the tracking trip to capitalize if the leader falters, and #1 Immigration Law projects to stalk the heavy traffic.

The Pace Beneficiary: #2 Tahila — the Chaos Survivor who holds the late kick.

The Machine's Selections

#3 — Back to Khali

Normalized TPN: 100 | Win Probability: 33%

The Setup: A three-year-old holding steady form in a lateral move, last seen 30 days ago.

#1 — Immigration Law

Normalized TPN: 92 | Win Probability: 18%

The Setup: Highly active recently with form remaining consistently sharp, last seen 15 days ago.

Normalized TPN: 89 | Win Probability: 12%

The Setup: A three-year-old with four starts holding fitness, in a lateral move.

The Edge: A B+ TS Caliber and B TS Power Score offer value, though a C- TS Velocity keeps her behind the top group.

The Machine's Final Analysis

This is the card's cleanest setup: Back to Khali faces no other committed speed and should dictate terms through every call. Her A- TS Ignition and TS Surge, along with a 5-point Normalized TPN edge, make her the most likely winner, with Tahila's late kick the only real threat.

Alternate Selection (Scratch Protection)

#5 — Pencima

Normalized TPN: 86 | Win Probability: 7%

Angle: A significant class drop puts her in a softer spot and keeps her in the Contender range on Normalized TPN.

Scratch Rule: This runner moves into the #4 slot if any Top 4 selection is scratched.
