Covering the bar point seems obvious. Then it's a choice of slotting the 5 point or the three.  The three is safer, and there's a bigger stack on the six needing unstacking which argue for slotting the three.  But the 5 is so much more valuable so I'll go with "pure" play here and slot it.  Besides, the spares on the 6 are supposed to be used to make the 4 and 5 point, not the three. 

13/7 8/5.
