You'll be up by about 25 pips after this roll. Why worry about priming?

"What's your game plan?" is always a good question, and here the answer is "to win the race", so no need to get fancy. Clear from the rear and don't volunteer shots.

Yeah, 11/6 after clearing the mid gives a couple more rolls to fill in the four point, but it's not worth leaving the 64 joker. There are a couple more rolls before blue will be forced to blot, and by then white will have either crunched or have run off the anchor.
