mapping of function revisited

Searching a little more I found one more alternative

exp1 = x^3 + (1 + z)^2;

MapAt[Sin, exp1, Flatten[(Position[exp1, #1] & ) /@ Cases[exp1, _?(
!NumberQ[#1] & ), {-1}], 1]]
Sin[x]^3 + (1 + Sin[z])^2

Are there any other alternatives? Especially with proper pattern
matching?

Thinking a little harder I consider the following pure function

g = TrueQ[First[ToCharacterCode[ToString[p]]] <
First[ToCharacterCode[ToString[#1]]] <
First[ToCharacterCode[ToString[z]]]] & ;

Then

MapAt[Sin, exp1, Flatten[(Position[exp1, #1] & ) /@ Cases[exp1, _?(
!NumberQ[#1] && g[#1] & ), {-1}], 1]]
(1 + z)^2 + Sin[x]^3

Is it possible to obtain the previous result more compactly?

Thanks
