ok I changed my mind 5 times on this.
win the A, hook a spade, if it wins I feel sure I'm home.
If I lose the spade hook, i suppose trump back is best, so I win 10 if I can, or A in hand, then ruff spade, pitch 9 of spades on the K of hearts and play a club back to hand pull trump and claim
So this is 3-2 trumps reliant.
Do I win?

Commenting on play problems online is a bit of a mugs game but here goes:-
HK, SA, S ruff, CA, S ruff, C ruff, DAKQ. If the SK fell early then cashing the HK instead of a second spade ruff seems logical.

duran I think you should not play ♦10 from dummy on a switch, nobody will underlead ♦Jxxx but you might be able to ruff with ♦10 when someone has ♠ singleton.
Other than that first round spade finese seems better than delayed one, so I agree with your line.
