Very clear to play safe here even though at dmp hitting is the best choice. If we had any other inner board point it would be right to hit. See variant below.

		White is Player 2 score: 0 pip: 118 Unlimited Game Jacoby Beaver pip: 150 score: 0 Blue is Player 1
XGID=-----BE-C-a-eB----Bcb-bbA-:0:0:1:62:0:0:3:0:10
Blue to play 62

1.	XG Roller++	24/18 6/4	eq: -0.432
