Money - Bring down two. This gives thirteen in the zone and a great chance to prime the anchor (or blitz if she splits). She needs to use both dice to hit, so her homeboard blot will remain exposed if she rolls a 7. 13/8 13/9

DMP favors the race and gammons don't count, so running off the bar point seems thematic. Assuming white doesn't shake a deuce blue gets a nearly 20 pip lead in the race with both runners escaped while white is still stuck on the ace point. 18/13 18/14

GS - Keep the bar point anchor and don't leave any blots. Simply make the deuce point. 7/2 6/2

GG - I sense that this is another four-score position, but I'll opt for the same play as for money. Looking for plays that I haven't used yet, making the three doesn't seem worth abandoning the eight, leaving a direct shot seems too loose, and running off the bar or midpoint with 18/9 or 13/4 dosen't seem to be a strong as D. Ok, maybe 18/9 is worth considering, but I'll stick with 13/8 13/9
