run this (68)

8, 9, 12, 11, 4.

I know the 12 to 11 looks a little funny but the 11 to 4 looks so natural.

After you shoot the 8 and 9, you probably have a better angle to bring the cue back off the 12. You can hardly go wrong.
 
6,9,11,12,4... I am new to this game and would try like this. Still don't know the patterns. Just looks easy to float up to the 4 and play in side moving forward for the 8 break.
 
I see another pattern that I like, but the balls look like they fit pretty well together here so I'm throwing this out there. :)

ok, ok

Stop on the 8, shoot the 9 draw back an inch or two for the 11, go to the rail and out on the 11. Two rails from the 12 to the 4 into the right hand side pocket.

I like this one best actually. I was going to post shooting the 4 as an alternative to my first (second) suggestion into the bottom corner until I saw your post.

The four seems to be the biggest problem, it doesn't really lay well as a key ball.
 
I'm not crazy about leaving the 4-ball as the key ball...it's easy to get the wrong angle on it...

I like the 6-ball for the break ball...and the 12-ball for the key ball...

I'll play 8,9,4,11,12...

I'll play the 11-ball to leave the cue ball pretty close to the bottom rail...then nice and easy put the 12-ball in the corner pocket and slide the cue ball out off the side rail for a good break angle...tough to go wrong here.
