The general rule of thumb is to make aggressive leads against small slams. With excellent chances of a trump trick you decide to lead a diamond. This works out well when declarer wins with dummy's ace and partner plays the nine. After a heart to the ten, ace and your four, North puts heart6 on the deck.
