West leads the TC.
  
The solution presented stated that the best chance is to play for the spade
honors to be split and East has the KD. This is not too unreasonable.
However you should not take the gamble of "finessing" the JS in the hope
that West shifts to another suit allowing you to squeeze East out of the
other spade honor and King third of diamonds. The contract is guaranteed
if the cards lie as speculated above. Keep trying!
