LEAD WITH THE ACES

-

ANSWER: You hope to be back on play with the spade king soon and must work out where your second trick is coming from. Partner did not double five diamonds, so a diamond is unlikely to be necessary. As for hearts, declarer should have a control for his drive to slam. Try a club, hoping to give partner a ruff on the second round. If playing fourth-highest, maybe an ingenuous club two won’t give the game away.
