Pick a Ko

Now, black has a choice between securing the left and the right. If he secures the right, go after the left, and likewise, if he secures the left, play on the right as follows:

Anonymous: In either case white needs to win the ko on the undefended side...

If Black secures left (5 at marked)

Any better ideas?
