This is a gammon-save game. You are ahead in the race and you own the cube.

Therefore play safe => minimize shots.

8/7* 3/1 has 4 (indirect) shots now and in the remaining 7 non-dancing cases you will probably leave a direct shot in the following turn.

With 5/3 2/1 (or 5/4 5/3) you leave no shots now and no shots next turn (if you roll 6-1 next turn you can hit and cover, so it's not a big problem).

So I would play 5/4 5/3, second choice 5/3 2/1.
