Looks like blue already has plenty of checkers back. I wouldn't necessarily try to get more sent back, but I'd risk being hit to do something to improve my position. Making the five point is attractive, but blue's main problem is mobility - if he can't spring one of the 8 runners his board will crash. So I'll go with the double hit to keep white from making the full prime before I can spring some of the trapped checkers.

Usually hitting depletes one's timing, but here 3/2*/1* gains very little in the race. It's also usually the wrong idea to slot your ace point in a backgame but the hope is to recirculate it while springing some of the stragglers.

That said, making the five point might be better, but blue can't hold the five point if he can't spring his stragglers.
