1. Blue has a big race lead but otherwise only slightly better structure than White. He also still has a straggler. Should be an easy take. However, Blue clearly has the advantage and a good exchange should lose his market. Trailing slightly in the match, I think this is a small double.

2. The score probably matters here because Blue is itching to get a gammonish advantage and send the cube over. So I would try 13/8 11/5* ATS. For money, though, I would be inclined to play 24/13. Race when ahead in the race! We would give White direct 6's to hit, but 11/5* gives White a lot of return shots too.

3. At 3-away, we often should be cautious about doubling in gammonish positions because it cuts into our gammon value, but here I would double because it's not clear to me that White can take, and I would be surprised if Blue is TG. D/P is my guess.
