Hit the upper right side of the peg furthest on the bottom left, as far away from orange pegs as possible. try and get it to bounce off back into the middle and then drop down without hitting anything else.

Since we now have a 10x multiplier, we need only score 1000 base-score points to get the free ball multiplier. A single orange peg gets us 100, two makes for 2x200=400. Three blue pegs on top of this nets us the free ball (from memory. I've not Peggled in a few years but the first free ball comes at 10k points, right? At any rate, we're in prime free-ball time). Therefore, the optimal strategy is to hit the two close orange pegs, with the aim to hitting another three or more blue pegs on the way down. With the spread how it is, this should not be an improbable outcome. We even stand a chance of hitting the final orange peg and winning the level, but that would very much be a bonus at this point. With five balls remaining the level is all but won, the only concern is to maximise score and each ball remaining counts.

By carefully measuring the angle, I have ascertained that we should not hit between the orange pegs, for it would bounce off. Instead we shall hit the first orange peg thus so:



Even if it does not bounce off the orange peg correctly at this angle, it will likely hit the wall and then hit at least the remaining orange peg or the other brick.
