My guess is to ruff out the
♠s.
♠A, ruff a
♠,
♣A, ruff a
♣, ruff a
♠
Discard a
♦ on
♣Q if it's good; or if RHO follows.
Hope to to lose a couple of trump tricks and possibly a
♦
If instead, you elect to finesse
♣s, I think you should take the ordinary finesse, rather than the trump-finesse because the former requires opponents to follow to only 2 rounds of
♣s. When the
♣ finesse wins, you can immediately discard a
♦ on the good
♣ before attempting to ruff out the
♠s.
On reflection, Aloc c and the Badger might be right. I think 've underestimated the merits of the trump-finesse in this layout.
Aloc c points out that a losing trump finesse leaves LHO on lead.
