Cube Action?

Not sure about the take here. In Blue's favor are: (1) he has a four-point board, with two more checkers in the zone; (2) White has only a one-point board with a blot in it; (3) trailing 7a6a, his gammon price on a 2-cube is slightly elevated. In White's favor are: (1) she is only 10 pips behind in the race, with just one checker back (by "back" I mean on the bar or in Blue's home board), which translates into reasonable chances of entering and converting to a decent bar-point holding game; (2) her three-point prime can cause Blue some difficulties. I'm inclined to pass but will not be too surprised if it's a take.
