Puzzle # Freakin' 99!! White to Play; Best Move

Hello, everyone!

Puzzle contest starts NEXT WEEK at noon! I will post all the details, including pictures of all prizes on Wednesday, if all goes according to plan.

Here's another non-Tinue puzzle to help stretch your brains. This is not a game I played, but one I saw while looking for a good Gaelet puzzle.

Like last week, there are two stages to this puzzle:  First, what is White's best move? And, second, is it good enough to pull out a win?

For those new to my puzzles, I try my best to post one every Saturday night (EST) and respond to answers Sunday morning. They are usually one of the following types: Tinue (game ending via forced road), Tinue Avoidance (is there a way out?), Gaelet (game ending via flat count), and Best Move (what would you do, and why?).

Please form your answer with PTN or a link to your solution via ptn.ninja. Also, be sure to use the spoiler tag so as not to ruin it for later puzzle solvers.

** I have noticed some people commenting directly to my blog post when answering puzzles. I would kindly ask that you post your answers on the appropriate post on the Reddit page for Tak (r/tak). This will make it easier for me to respond in a timely manner. On that note, I would like to also apologize to those same people for my delayed replies.
