Making the 1pt balances the spares and avoids making points that are six pips apart, but the 1pt is unnecessarily advanced. Therefore, with three of the 5s I'd make the 3pt and remake the 8pt.

That leaves a logical choice of 13/8 or 7/2 with the fourth 5. Other than 22, I can't think of a deuce with which White should clearly hit, so it's mostly a question of where Blue wants the blot that won't be hit this roll. Framed that way, it seems clear that he wants it on the 7pt, so that if he hits a shot on the far side on the next roll White won't have a direct deuce return shot coming off the roof. Besides, the 2pt checker looks ugly down there -- on the 4pt it would be more natural.

In short, I like P (Point, 13/3(2)).
