this is an interesting position.  we are ahead in the race and have fewer men back than our opponent yet i think we are a pretty big underdog to win this game. so whats our plan?  i dont want to hit loose and we cant leave more blots so the 5 is 9-4, so what the play for the 2? i think we have to move up to the edge of his prime.  that gives us a decent chance to either jump out or anchor assuming we arent hit.  if we play passively and move 6-4 we are asking to get primed.  i'll take my chances coming in under the gun. 23-21 9-4

This one is as obvious as it seemed. 2nd best is up for grabs, but who cares about that?
