Is it a trivial play?

I see several possible plans.

1. The tempo hit 6/1* to prevent Black from using his full roll to improve his offense.

2. The bold priming play 13/10 6/4 that pays off nicely if Black misses and White completes the five prime.

3. The pedestrian 24/22 13/10 trying to escape and build without taking too many risks.

There's also 13/8 but that doesn't look as good to me as 24/22 13/10.

I would try the tempo hit, making use of our slightly stronger board. Slotting seems to sacrifice too much when we're hit and 24/22 13/10 seems too passive.
