In a suit contract count your losers, Spades:1, Hearts:0, Diamonds:1, Clubs:0. Plan to discard your losing spades on your long club suit.
In 6H (better because it gives more points), AD lead, lose first trick and win the diamond return. Play KH and QH, then cross to your hand and draw 2 more rounds of trumps. The rest of the tricks are yours.
