LEAD WITH THE ACES

-

ANSWER: On this dramatic auction, you have to assume declarer has a void somewhere (since Blackwood wasn’t used), but you have no sure way to know if declarer fits spades and is gambling with one suit unguarded. The most passive lead is a trump, but against small slams one tends to go active. Here, a heart feels right to me.
