Assuming the 1 does not pass, I thin the 1 banking off the side rail and underneath the 2...letting the CB float up toward the top RH corner pocket using the other balls as blockers...

Over cut the 1 from the 2,(try to catch the 2 with the 1 to stop it) go 2 to 3 rails behind the 8 and 6.

I think you should kick the one ball from the bottom rail to the side rail and then send it up table and leave the cue ball by the two ball and try to use the ten ball as a blocker.
 
Not sure of the distance between the rail and the 2 but I mite slow roll the cb and try to put it behind the 2.

Shoot the combo 1-2, I like this shot for three reasons first....I can cut the one using a little r/h hand english and bring whitey to the middle of table.... second, the natural angle of the one off the two ball combo if made, makes the one ball bank up and down long naturally, and third, I have fairly good control of the one ball speed being so close to the two....when the one comes back down table, I've got all Four pockets for object ball shape. In essence, the ball pocketing speed of the one ball up and back and the ball speed needed to bring whitey to the middle of the table are about the same.
 
Hit the 1 full in the face with the CB, and hard, with a stop shot stroke. 1 goes off the right side (from our vantage point) of 2 ball, and goes 3 rails behind the 6/8 on the left rail. 2 ball goes 2 rails into 10, possibly cheesing it in right side pocket. CB stays near where the 1 was. Could possibly be forced closer to the corner pocket or the long rail, to make the safe better.

I thought about that shot but I wouldnt stop it,I would put high on it trying to get the cb to the side rail.
 
Two rail kick, right side, bottom rail. Cue ball caroms off the 1 and pockets the 2.

Nuff said.
 
Why not 1 to 2 combo with medium speed? Should come off the rail to shoot the 1 in the same corner. Use a high English to get you back to the other side of the table to start an ackward run...?

Looks like it would be real easy to thin the right side of the 1B and float the CB one or two rails softly behind the 2B

Flat ball hit

Speed is critical

This was the first shot I saw, but didn't think the 1 could be hit thinly enough that it wouldn't bank into the 2, on the way into the rail, or out of it. However, on second look, even if it hit the 2, it might push the 2 into a position where it would cover up the CB.

Yeah, it's hard to tell. Couple things I saw was if the pockets are buckets it makes it tougher to execute. Also, it looks like if you can hit the one where it will go perpendicular up the table and you'd miss the two. Then it's all about speed, i.e., get behind the two

I like your shot. But I think you need to put severe right on the CB to induce left on the 1B so it will spin out two rails
