Not many sensible options here - can't escape, don't want to slot (Blue's board is dangerous and the back men have a direct escape route, unlike when I slotted the four - the Herd could run to victory while I struggle to come in). That leaves 9/7 6/5 and 9/6. Both leave three men aiming at the Herd's anchor should he run, but I'll go with 9/7 6/5 on the basis that if they stay and I can't escape next roll, I have a four to play that doesn't break the prime further.
