How is this a take?

I can't figure out how this position can be a take for Blue. Even when I consult XG and use it's Analyze-->Cube Info feature to get Match Equity and GV numbers, I still work it out to a pass (even when using the fully live TP which of course should be a few % too low here).

XG++ is showing a 1% MWC error to drop.

Can someone show how to combine XG's Cube Info numbers with the XG evaluation for win/gammon distribution to show this position is a take?

Match to 9, White leads 6-4
White on roll. Cube action?

White	145
Blue	142
