This slam seems soooo easy, but essentially all that played went down. It sure looks easy. So I post it here for a discussion of the options, giving only trick one, a low heart ruffed in dummy.

I dont see any special play here, so i would play normal,
draw trumps , then a club to the J (this can be better then the Q especially if trumps are 4-0) then A of diamond, and finnese the diamonds (twice if they are 4-0).

What about drawing 2 trump (assume East shows out), then diamond Ace and a low diamond, finessing, and endplaying East with Qx?
If East has three trump, I would think that one of the minor finesses must work.

I tend to lead fourth best - as opposed to the best suit, the second best suit, or the third best suit for our side
