Interesting.
The obvious line seems to be two red hooks and diamonds 3-2 (or stiff honor).
An alternative line is to plop diamond Ace (hoping for honor) and then play for Jx if not, and then hope if all goes wrong in diamonds for three diamonds, heart hook for two hearts, two spades, club Ace, and a trick developing in spades (9-7 looks juicy) or a throw-in in clubs or a squeeze or some other razzle-dazzle.
At MP, I'll go obvious with the field.
At IMP, maybe the sexy line is more fun.
If I was out of the event or needed a swing, I'd definitely go sexy.

Do you think 3NT by South is the field contract? I would guess most are playing 3NT by North after a 3S bid by South.
