In an online speedball you end up in game on a 4-3 fit. The auction was pretty weird, just ignore it (1♣ was artificial, responder = me didn't know all the continuations LOL)

Alternative is to ruff with K, then play spade and send. If overcaller wins hope he has the ♠ 8 too, which whereagles referred. Suppose spade finesse worked, play a ♣ to dummy and take 2nd finesse and try to clear trumps. Make if spades were 3-3 or Qx with W.
Suppose W held 4 of them and Q did not drop, take ♥ finesse. (perhaps dia J was preference for ♥, it looks silly to echo the ♥ K but people do this a lot on BBO)
-If it is covered you made 1♥ + 1 ruff + 3 trumps +1♣ so far and will easily score 4 more (1h+2cl+1 trump from hand by ruffing hearts later) basically play clubs and make sure you end up in dummy if he refuses to ruff.
-If ♥Q is no covered, cash all clubs, make when he ruffs the same way above. If he refuses to ruff endplay him with last spade if you are in hand after 4 clubs. If you are in dummy after 4th club then simply ruff a heart for 10th trick
