1. 24/18 leaves us too exposed (White's doublets play exceptionally well). 13/7 is often a good choice when behind in the race, but here it gives White an awful lot of double-hitting rolls, and isn't a very promising priming play. For me the choice is between 20/14 and 8/2*. I used to not like 8/2* at all but am learning that it's not as bad as I used to think. Not sure that it's the right idea here but I'll try it. Bar/20 8/2*.

2. Blue still has a lot of work to do. I think this should be a clear take for White. Not sure about the double but I'm inclined to hold. ND/T.

3. Leaping the prime seems to be the natural play at DMP. Then hitting 2/1* reduces return shots. Alternatively, we could make the 4pt, or PoH. PoH looks weakest because it doesn't seem to help our position. There's something to be said for making 5 out of 6 points but I still think we need to use the 6 to leap the prime. 24/18 2/1*.
