How about leading a low spade from dummy at trick two!!?? Unless South is a genius or madman then your jack will force North's ace and you're almost there. Cash spadeK and play on the red suits ending with a heart ruff in dummy. A low club reveals all. This is slightly better than playing a club towards dummy as North has shown fewer spades and is therefore more likely to hold club length.

Another declarer found equally good way of sticking one up the defence..
