Need opinion on position

Blue is losing this race by too far to try one of the safe plays. White's board is strong but it is not overwhelming. Also, White has a liability with a blotted 5. Blue just must hit 6/4*. Now the question becomes what to do with the 4. 10/7 may be right. But it leaves few covering numbers. 12/10 leaves more covering numbers with more return shots. My aggressive 13/9 leaves the maximum amount of covering numbers. Obviously the risk are great with four blots. I am hoping that my opponent does not cube from the bar. My online experience tells me that this is unlikely. If it works, I probably am in great shape. If it does not, I will pass any cube.

When substantially losing in a race, one may need to try a dangerous hit to regain position or reduce the race lead.
