Look at East's club suit. Defending against four spades, your partner leads the club two. Which club would you play? North is right to raise to four spades over West's takeout double.
He knows that his side has at least a 10-card fit, so he bids to the 10-trick level. If four spades goes down, the penalty points conceded should be fewer than the opponents would have scored in their best contract. You (East) have three choices at trick one. You may play the club jack, or you may play the club jack, or you may play the club jack. That might seem like the same answer each time, but it is so important that I thought it worth repeating.
When South takes the trick with his ace, partner knows that you have the queen, because if declarer had the queen, he would have won with that card and kept the ace for later. Then, when South plays a trump, West wins and continues with a low club, giving you the lead with your queen. Now it should be the work of a nanosecond for you to shift to a heart, which gives your side four tricks: one spade, one club and two hearts. Any other defense and declarer takes 10 tricks via four spades, four diamonds, one club and a club ruff in the dummy. When playing third hand high, furnish the bottom of your equally high cards.
