White's ace-point checkers are bad news for her, no doubt about that, and a six-prime is better than a five-prime. This looks like a clear double with the take being in question. In White's favor we can say:

1. Blue has two checkers back so even if he escapes one, he's not automatically home free.

2. Blue's six-prime cracks immediately with 55 54 44. White can win the timing battle even if Blue's six-prime doesn't crack immediately, because she still has some spare pips to play.

3. White's ace point has some value in the following variations: Blue hits, White dances until Blue's six-prime cracks, White hits back.

I think that this is enough to take.
