Lead: a diamond. Reason: pard should have the major suits locked up, so maybe this cuts ruffs. Not the first time I lead a dull heart or spade and declarer ends up ruffing some stuff in dummy.

I bet that after the last two comments the vote for 5 ♥ will go up from now 40 % to the majority of votes.

I like to sit for doubles with balanced hands, but here it is not close to bid 5 ♥.
Kind Regards

Best bid avaible was: I have a smarter idea: 6♥.

♠AQxx
♥AJ98xx
♦-
♣KJx

Against 5♦ a red suit lead is 200, others 500 (declarer is 2083)

At the other table south bid a voluntary 4♥ over 3♦!. Slam was auickly bid.
