Cube action?

Position is about even, race is about even, so I'm not seeing it as a cube since you usually need an advantage in 2 of 3 Position, race, threats to cube. Then again, 12 checkers in the zone, a man on the bar, a blot on the deuce has the makings of an attack so white has a definite advantage in threats.

If this were 5a5a match play I would seriously think about cubing (get some gammon chances, push the cube), and since it appears that much of white's equity comes form the gammon chances activating them might be the right idea. But i regularly fumble when trying to apply Jacoby, so this may be wrongheaded.

The take seems clear - white's made ace point will be a liability unless the attack succeeds, and white still has both checkers on her 24 point.
