Now the Herd gets 33 to play. Given the compactness of our position, surprisingly (to me at any rate) there are no less than 30 possible candidates, of which I am posting a dozen. Want more? Just ask.

5-pt match, juanz 0-4 Herd, Crawford
Pipcount: juanz (red) 103, Herd (black) 85

Now we hit.

I see two ways to do it.  One is to play 10/1* 4/1, the other is to clear the 7 point now with 7/1*(2).  My hunch is that they are rather close.

If we clear the seven, the ensuing blot can't be hit, but I don't like the gap.  So I'll go with the more prosaic move.

10/1* 4/1
