West's lead shows a four card suit, and unless West is 4-4-4-1 he will have at least nine red cards. East might have one of the outstanding high cards and considering the bidding and opening trick it's much more likely to be a black king than a red ace. Besides, if East does have a red ace the club finesse will be working. This all adds up to the fact that you should attack hearts before clubs, and if West ducks J you should continue with a diamond from dummy. Only when three red suit tricks are in the bag do you attack clubs.
