Double finesse.
Declarer can see 5 clear winners and with the ♣ lead he will always make one trick in ♣.
There are three chances on the extra trick needed :

  1. a finesse in ♠ (50% chance)
  2. a double finesse in (75% chance)
  3. one of Opponents' red suits split 3-3 (35% chance)
A double finesse in provides therefore the best chance.
