Pretend that you're north and you have to lead something. You can lead anything you want in case that wasn't obvious lol. Which is the best? After a few people state their ideas about it I'll show the full hand.

I lead a spade.
My guess is, if E-W have enough tricks they may require two solid suits between them, in which case the most likely candidates must be the red ones.
If this assumption is correct partner must have AK in spades.
I try to give count on the opening lead.

Wow, then maybe this wasn't as interesting as I thought it was if you figured it out so well. In any case, I thought it was interesting that a grand slam would be bid in a case where the defense is stuck trying to figure out what suit to lead. If they lead anything but a spade, the bid makes, but if they lead a spade, it's down 1. Although east did very poorly describe his hand so he actually had a bunch of spades lol. East/west still have 7 winners on heart, 5 on diamonds, and 1 club.
