25/21*, and then find an ace. (There are non-hitting plays, but it looks like they give White way too much freedom to improve. Maybe at Gammon Go?)

Two checkers are going to be on the rail and White will have four back in Blue's homeboard, regardless of choice between 21/20* and 6/5*. I'm having trouble finding a reason to choose the latter, which leaves an extra blot, more double shots for White, and her 5-pt slotted which occasionally gets covered this turn but also sometimes gets covered next turn. (Yes, a 5x roll by White makes her slotted 20-pt, but otherwise hits there -- a tossup trade-off?)

25/21*/20.
