♠x
♥J9xxxx
♦9xxx
♣AJ

White Vs Red, it goes:

Pa-3♣-3♦-4♠
5♦-Pa-Pa-5♠
Pa-Pa-Pa

Would you have bid 6♦? What do you lead?

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

Not that necessarily lead one at the table but ♥ could be right. Partner rates to have some ♠, some ♣ and lots of Diamonds, given that we have only 1 ♠ and 2 ♣ he could be very short in ♥.

Maybe the lead of the lowest ♥ (suit preference) gets a ruff, a ♣ and another ruff. Or maybe natural trump trick, club and a second round ruff!

Right. But there's a small chance pard may have doubled with a heart void.

No, I've got great defence as I should be able to prevent the ♣ running.

Declarer might have ♦Kx. Oh, you wanted a good reason? A trump lead doesn't look terrible. Any better? B-)
