I see no obvious or safe lead. I will try the ♣Q with no special confidence. If dummy hits with ♣KTx, that's life.

I see no reason to attack here.

A club is too likely to hit split honors, although we'd survive if we hit the T or K with partner.

A heart is probably very wrong, and can swallow up partner's K-empty.

Spade for me.

I would like to make a safe neutral lead but I have no idea what it is except for a non heart.

I pick the Q♣ just because pard must have something and I'll not blow a trick if it's only the ten. Not a hand to swing on and I think I'm with the field more often this way, take an average (I hope) and move on.

Spade, but club looks fine too. Nothing else is in the picture.
Kind Regards

Systemic spade here. Systemic diamond my second choice.

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."
