You are sitting East and hear the following bidding:
| North 1  2 3NT |
East Pass 2  All Pass |
South 1  2NT |
West 1 Pass |
Partner leads a small heart and dummy goes down.
| Dealer North; | ||
 Q 6 3 7 A Q 4 A Q J 10 3 2 |
||
| |
 |
K J 10 7 2 A 8 3 9 8 5 8 7 |
There seems little point in holding up the Ace of hearts. Looks as if declarer has 9 tricks in the minors, as anything partner has in those suits will be finessed anyway.
So what does partner have for his bid? Surely declarer has at least one honour in hearts?
What card do you play at trick 2?

Partner doesn't have KQ(J or T) H or he would surely have led one. Declarer surely has Q or K H. Therefore pard has AS or KD and NOT AS or is ultra-aggressive. The only lead to guarantee beating the conract seems to be a Spade. JS should wake him / her up.
