Acepoint is probably a waste of (half of) a good roll, here, because black has an anchor. Save those checkers for a better point.

This might be a case of some plays being overkill due to an upcoming cube. Having said that I'd make the 8-point and 16-point, remaining pure. White's blots aren't much of a concern, IMO, because of Black's own homeboard blots and the likely returns White gets in the outfield if Black hits from the midpoint (or worse, from the anchor).

16(2), 8(2).
