West cannot profitably attack spades from his side and you will win the return, say a diamond, and play a club to the jack. Whether East wins or ducks, declarer has the answer to gather in nine tricks.

I would expect the vast majority of good declarers to make this contract and a few not so good ones too. Anyone winning diamondK at trick one and taking an immediate club finesse will deserve to get the spade switch that brings ignominious defeat.
