After North-South reached game, West had an interesting lead problem. Most defenders don't like to look for ruffs when they hold good trumps, and he looked elsewhere for a likely lead candidate.

The bidding appeared to indicate that North felt his hand had improved with his partner's 3 bid. So, spurning the obvious lead of his singleton, West concluded that the opposition had a good club fit and therefore partner would be short. Accordingly, he decided to lead a club in the hope of eventually giving his partner a ruff. Do you agree with his choice?
