Cube action at 3a-2a?

I'm pretty sure I miss this one over the board. I'm also pretty sure it is a double/take. Blue has some obvious market losers including the race. A somewhat hidden factor: If blue doesn't get out in the next couple rolls, white will probably find a nongammonish double that blue has to take, so the cube goes to 2 anyway. Blue might as well double before he loses his market.
