Bearing in against a 5 point holding game

What do you play? Why?

I'm with everyone else that 4/1 3/2 is called for here. The main reason is our enormous racing lead of ~30 pips. If the race was fairly close as some holding games are I would opt instead for the natural 7/6 7/4. Lifting the 7pt does leave us some immediate bad rolls [61 63] and also picks up the points out of order while depriving us of a much needed, if only for a turn, landing point. Still, a race where we're only ahead a bit I'd clear the 7pt. (we would also be more likely to attack in those variations as our opp. would have to abandon the anchor sooner)
