1NT is 12-14
*Landy, at least 5-4 in majors
N/S are a first time partnership. Our agreements were 4th best leads,
top of sequences, ace lead for (standard) attitude, king for
(standard) count, second from bad suits.
Partner leads the SKwhich holds, I played my lowest spade to show an
odd number, then partner switches to the HQ which I win with the ace.
Declarer follows low on these tricks.
How should I continue?
Thanks

Thanks to those who replied. There were some useful comments.
What actually happened at the table was I did lead my top spade back, based
on a line of thinking similar to Eric's. Unfortunately declarer did have the
hand that Patrick posted where a spade lead gives the ninth trick, namely
something like QJx Kxx Ax Kxxxx whereas declarer has no chance on a heart
return (I'm not sure if partner was 5-5 or 5-4 in the majors). Teammates
were in 3D+1 so that was a big swing out.
Well done to Bob for getting it right.- Hide quoted text -

If partner started with: S AK109x H QJ1093 D xx C A, he might have
continued with his lowest heart to tell you to return a heart when you
play a heart honor. If he wanted a spade continuation, he just might
lead the heart nine.
