It's tempting to take a risk now with our big race lead and White's weak board. But what are the options? 18/16 18/14 duplicates White's 2's and 4's but also gives White direct 5's to hit. It looks too loose. 13/7 is more plausible, duplicating White's 4's. The safe choices are 8/4 7/5 or 8/4 6/4, with 8/4 7/5 looking a little better.

Not sure which of 13/7 and 8/4 7/5 I prefer. We're probably going to have to break the midpoint next turn if we don't break it now, and it will probably be more dangerous next turn. On the other hand, our board is still fairly weak. I guess I play safe with 8/4 7/5.
