43 for White

My first instinct is just to stay back to maximize contact, and play 6/2 5/2. But upon further inspection, I think it's better to play 13/6. Black has to break anchor with a 5 and we'd rather not be on the bar if that happens. Keeping both outfield blots is better if Black rolls 43, or if Black repeatedly rolls small numbers, but these seem like long shots compared with Black simply rolling a 5.
If 13/6 is a candidate then so is 14/7 but intuitively it seems better to stay further back and bring a checker in to the 6pt.
Finally we could just play 14/10 13/10 but we're pretty far behind in the race so I think this is the wrong idea.
