Pointing on the 4-point looks obvious, but Red is likely to have difficulty consolidating his position afterwards. This play gives White the immediate return shots at the blot on the 8-point. In addition, with blots on the 8 and 11-points, Red is committed to put his game together for some time. Instead, Red should consolidate his position now by making the bar-point. With the 3, 6/3 doesn't look right since Red should keep his checkers in front of White's back men. 13/10 puts pressure on White's blot on the 4-point. White's 6's are somewhat duplicated and if missed the checker on the 10-point creates a potential landing spot for Red's back checkers.
