Well, an obvious candidate is 15/11 8/7, which pretty much locks up the game on the spot if White doesn't roll an immediate 6. Another possibility is a banana split such as 10/6 2/1*, but that gives White a double shot, and seems a lot worse. Finally, there are safe plays, which give us three builders for the bar point, but since the race is close, they risk just losing the race. I would go for the immediately slot 15/11 8/7. White's board isn't so strong, so we may still win even if White hits us.

At a normal score, the risk of losing a gammon would make me hesitate to leave five blots in the outfield, but of course that doesn't matter ATS.
