1NT was 10-12

LHO leads ♠5 (4th best). If you play low, RHO will play the 9.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Prospects are bad if LHO has ♠A, he will shut our comunications out.

I would play for RHO to have ♠A and LHO ♥Q, leading a diamond honnor seems to work very well then. I think its our best legitimate chance. I think I´d lead ♦Q but I am not very good at picking touching honnors as declarer. If I get to hand with ♠K I don´t see the gain on not cashing both diamond honnors and going for 10 tricks.

Leading a diamond might also work if LHO ♠A and fails to duck the second trick of the suit.

If West has ♠A and ♠J, they have only room for another Queen, or may have nothing more. So I win with ♠10 and run ♥10; if it holds cash top ♥, maybe then letting East in with a 4th ♥. I plan to finesse ♣7 to get to dummy for the long ♥, depending how it goes.

Edit: Maybe it's best to knock out ♦A first though.
