With the pip count this close (-10 after the roll), I am not hitting off the ace - although I can see its merits. I am a little torn between 6/4,13/10 and 13/8. I think of the two, the former is my slight preference. The 10pt provides a builder for both the 4 and 7 points.

13/8 (the quiet play) also has some significant merits (no extra blots, one builder for the 4 & 7), but I am not sure that its enough.

13/10,6/4 is my play - it may be too aggressive, but with the white blot in the homeboard, I find that the most attractive option.
