Can't we just hope for 1 spade 2 hearts 1 diamond and 1 club and something in the wash? I think the ♦K is a trick we're definitely getting if we don't lead it. Partner needs a couple honors in the suit to back us up plus an entry.

I'll lead a low club. Probably will have to duck another round and by that time I'll have a better idea of which major I should lead.

Edit: Changed my mind, I lead a spade. Thinking about it it's just way too unlikely that we're going to beat this contract and the only way that I can really see is if we can set up some spade tricks. Q108(7) from partner one time?

[jdonn]

I lead a spade. Any A K Q T with partner, or any singleton A K Q in dummy, and I'll be fine. It seems the safest to me for sure.

[Mosene]

Either Q of ♥ or low spade. Not keen on either. Flip a coin.

Yes we can... The only reason why I don't like a ♠ is because I had this awful mental picture of the KT♠ in dummy . I guess I need therapy.

Spade for me, also. Could stink, but so could everything else, and a suit behind the spade bidder is better than a suit in front of the spade bidder. Stiff honor with partner makes it decent; doubleton honor could make it much more than decent.
