Real Choices

Blue has a cube he'd like to use. The first move I see is 11/5* 8/5, putting White on the roof, and making a 4 four point board. But it gives White 13 return hits. And if White fans, it looks like Blue will have to double White out because of the ace point blot. 12/6 4/1 looks stronger. Doesn't put White on the roof, but makes a 4 point board, covers the ace point blot, puts a third builder in place, blocks 3s and 6s, and only gives 4 return hits. The race is close, so no double if White runs, but double if White is still on the five point next roll. Can he take? Isn't the take point pretty high leading 4a/5a on a 4-cube?

Is there a third play? Of course there must be ... 12/3?
