A couple of themes present themselves:

Blitz with 8/3(2) 7/2(2)

Prime with 20/10(2)

Some kind of hybrid play like 13/3 8/3(2) or 20/15(2) 13/8 11/6

My gut says that the blitz won't work - white will be favored to enter enter on the ace or the four and then move around the board. I like the priming play, although giving up the anchor may be a blunder. Since this is gammon-save, I won't touch the anchor.

The blitz is sound even with leaving four fly shots, but since gammons don't count it seems like overkill.

I'll go for the quiet 13/3 8/3(2) - clean up a blot, retain the anchor, make a third homeboard point.
