Two plays are on my radar, and both start with 22/16. The two options I'm considering for the remaining 3 die are 12/9 and 16/13. The former creates better builder distribution for Blue's homeboard, offering White 8 shots with 2 blots. The latter leaves 10 shots but only one blot. (Note: the two blots after 12/9 can't both be hit this turn and White's primitive HB doesn't make it so difficult to clean up the other one after entering.)

One more thing to consider: If White makes Blue's 7-pt does Blue want to own the midpoint? As the race sits now, probably.

Reality is that White hasn't made any anchor yet and sometimes a spare on the 9-pt will help with PoH on the lonely little dogie even if White anchors immediately.

22/16, 12/9.
