After move Blue is 30 pips behind in race so in most cases he need hit a shot to catch up in race. Also good will be to have 5pt for containtement but it is not inevitable. Cube is also in his possesion so in some cases he can win with cube. Anyway, here I see conflict with keeping as more contact as Blue can to get more chances for a shot and to minimize shot numbers because of White's strong board. Also it will be pity if Blue hit a shot and leaves blot on 5pt which White would hit from the bar. For me choices is between: 13/10; 13/10 6/5 and 8/5. If Blue stay on midpoint it gain only if White roll 21 but leaves all 4s 11 22 31 total 15 shots. After 13/10 there is only 11 shots. Middle way is to play 13/11 6/5 which leave 12 shots but slot key 5pt. It I think it is best play. It would be shame that Blue hit a shot and that White enter on 5pt and escape in outfield. 5pt is absolute key point here and I like to slot it. Also three less shots is fine and gain if White roll 21 is not decide factor. If Blue is missed he has 6s 3s and 1s to cover 5pt.

13/11 6/5
