White's timing is borderline. Next turn she will probably have to run off her anchor or else break her board. If she runs, we would like to be in a position to attack. This line of thinking suggests 6/3, keeping the prime in order to give White more board-breaking rolls and also to give ourselves a better attacking position if White runs.

The alternative is to bear in with 8/7 8/6 or 7/6 7/5, but I think this releases the pressure on White. It might be the right idea if White's timing we better (say we shift White's forward checkers back 2 or 3 pips) but here I'd try 6/3.
