Random blitz cube

I think this is more of a containment position than a blitz. You are not likely to blitz White (because hitting loose is risky against a 5 point board and your checkers are not so close), but you are likely to prime White in, ideally making the 2 and 7.

When typing this, I have convinced myself this is a take. Any quick entry puts white in a position to escape and enter a race with a race lead, and if Blue counters this by hitting loose, White will have a more or less winning return from the bar. With clear paths to victory and not too many gammon losses for White, this must be a take.

As my first thought was to drop this, it must be a double.
