My instinct is bar/23 13/9 which gives the herd a 53 to escape and hit, in addition to 65 11 22 33 & 44 that already play well.  At another match score, this play would be clear - risk a couple of shots to strengthen the blockade.  But at this point I'm just trying to win a single point and avoid gammons, so the chicken play looks better.  So, bar/23 6/2 - this really goes against my bias against safe passive play but I think it's better at this juncture.
