Spade 7.
Declarer is prepared for a diamond lead and I want to make a passive lead, the spade lead will work whenever pd has something in spades and sometimes when he doesn't.

Hi,
small diamond.
Of course the system played by the
opponents is relevant, could responder
have asked after 3 card spade support?
Anyway, they have plenty of points / tricks,
and we will need to develop our tricks fast.
With kind regards
Marlowe

26 points were shown between opener's reverse and my hand... there are 14 maximum out, and partner is not bidding so i imagine rho has 9 or 10... if that's the case, we can't set this by going passive imo... even tho partner didn't x, i think i'll lead the ♥Q

Q♥ looks kind of desparate to me.
I think I'll try a low heart; whereby pard can hopefully win and shoot back a diamond.
I'm not convinced anything is 100% here.

It depends whether I believe he has his reverse or not., and the caliber of the player who is my LHO.
Against a poor player I would lead the KD (or QD if this would not fool partner), on the assumption that they bid game because they could see nowhere else to go.
Against someone good I might try the 7!H. Why the 7? I play 2/4 leads and pard will not think that I have 4 to the Q. A good player might just be manufacturing a reverse, it has been known to happen.
Doesnt look too positive for the defence.

My choice would be a small heart. It looks the best suit to attack, and communications between dummy and declarer should be the weakest point in this hand. Partner should be clearly able to look at dummy, and return a diamond.
