Race, point, or some split?

Making the two point is hopeless. You are well ahead in the race and on the verge of being "oh shit primed'. Those back checkers must move. I wonder given your title what the 'racing' play is, both checkers up?

I don't like in general and here is no exception the middle eastern split. This is what I call it when I move two (or more) back checkers up. One to the 18pt and the other to a high inner board point, the 20pt or 21pt. This always leaves us very exposed to a lot of double hit numbers (and some regular pointing numbers). When double hit if we don't find a gem roll from the bar we've lost so much momentum it's hard to recover.

24/18 8/4 pops out to me as obvious because we're out of options. It's nice that it also duplicates aces and develops our stack on the 8pt.
