The problem here is the distance and the cue ball being close to the end rail.
I would roll the cue ball off the side of the 13 ball and try to put the cue ball behind the balls near the opponents pocket.
The only real range would to leave a bank on the 7 ball.

Jeez! You finally went for a "protect the lead" shot. I likes that myself. Much better than going off the side of the 11/15? and down to the short rail.

Thanks Freddy. You and Bill I. know better than most of the people on this forum that I shoot at white flags.
My experiences on 5x10 tables has not been so positive so I am a little more conservative.
Used to play Joe Dimagio in Baltimore and on the 4 1/2x9 I could easily give him 8 to 7. One the 5x10 we played even and I never won.
Lost to Ronnie Barber on the 5x10 at Cockrans in SF.
Also played on the 5x10 with 4" pockets in Denver and never won also.
Smarter now.

Gotta be at the table to tell..but it looks like shooting the 3ball to make it might be a free shot - pocket speed, with the cueball coming off the 3 naturally/safely/with position, between the 5 and the red striped ball.
