The decision here appears to be the Take/Pass part, meaning Woolsey's Doubling Rule is in full go mode.

Blue's weakness (not the pipcount deficit) is the present lack of flexibility. It will be difficult to make a new point this turn without giving one up (i.e. the 8-pt). To state the obvious, take two builders off Blue's 6-pt and put one on the 5-pt and one and the 8-pt. How does White feel then?

But when White gets on roll, her best immediate chances appear to be hitting a flyshot, and those likely won't be prevalent. Blue's 43 and *maybe* 32 are her best hopes and even then she has to still hit, then get away. White's 33 and 66 are also very good White rolls, but still leave work to do although those look like clear Takes (sometimes ND's) even if Blue had rolled his best (e.g. {22,11,44} before 66 anyway, 33 not so great after Blue's {11,22}).

I have a problem visualizing slime vig and maybe there's enough of that to make this a Take, but I'd reluctantly let this go.

D+P.
