Plan your play after the lead of the ©2 and the first trick has gone.
After the first trick has gone you are almost on the point of declaring. Initially you can count 1 Spade winner, 4 Hearts winners and 3 in each of the Minor Suits. After trick one you know that your contract is safe because the trumps will be no worse than 4:1.
You should play a second round of trumps and when they fall the hand is now over. You claim and say you are drawing the last trump and intend making 5 Trump tricks, 1 spade and AKQ in both Minors. Hand over and onto the next one J please.
