Now ♠6, else declarer will be able to setup a spade. This can hardly cost. I think it's probably the same regardless...

[Gerben42]

Not a ♠, pd will be ruffing our sure trick.

I lead a ♣.

I'm with the club return as well. Knock out West club control. Your spade is always coming and you can't give two ruffs with no outside entry.

I also played a club, but I think after countign a bit it is wrong.

Partner must have 1354 or 1345, given that he didn't raise 2♣ it is more likely that he has 1354 (not for sure).

If he has 1354 declarer is 3523, and has a discard from diamonds for his last spade!.

A spade return might be awful when partner holds ♣AQxxx, but only because it blows our entry. But the free ruff is almost impossible that blows a trump trik for partner given dummy's holding and ours.
