I think people are seeing the what to play but not explaining the why too well. I think the correct play is 6/3* 5/3 along with everyone else. As already stated, you need to put another man up in the air to give yourself time to throw your miracle sixes (and ace).

Why is it better than 6/3* 13/10? The obvious is after 13/10 you'll have sixes to cover the blot and sixes to escape in a position where any natural six must be used to escape, period. If you break the 6pt instead you leave sixes to escape and every other number to pick that blot up and retain a 5pt board. If you hit lose on the 3pt you have virtually less covers than if you'd have broken the 6pt and only 1s & 2s to pick up the blot. Leaving recurring shots in this position is costly. The last thing you want is another man behind that solid 5 prime.
