Cube action ATS?

If white cubes and black takes then the cube will be at 8. I calculate the raw takepoint as 7/67 or a bit more than 10%. Since white can't win a gammon, black is very very unlikely to as well, and the cube will be dead at 8, the raw takepoint is the actual takepoint. Does black have 10% here?

With three checkers behind the prime and no anchor it looks doubtful. To win, black will have to anchor, and either get a shot or wait for the prime to break and try to race. Meanwhile, white will hit loose with an ace or a deuce to try to prevent X from anchoring, and likely roll the prime forward at which point black is screwed.

Maybe there's 10% wins to be had, but I'm not seeing it. And since it can't be TG, it must be a cash.
