With game your way looking very likely, you must hope to score 500 on this board. It looks as though partner has cashed her heartA to dissuade you from leading one now, so cash your spadeA to see the card partner contributes. When you see the discouraging spade2 on the table you will know that your vital fifth trick must come from elsewhere - and that only means via a trump promotion. When you lead another club North will have to concede a trump trick - and 500!
