Making the 8 seems obvious, but it's 7 pips away from the runner so not as important as it may initially seem.

We have a lead in the race, and white's board is strong, so volunteering a shot seems wrong.

Burying one on the deuce seems weak. So what to do?

I'll go with 13/8 6/2, fully expecting the bot play to be something else. I'm just not sure what.
