Partner is likely to be short in diamonds, the slam has greater
chances to succeed if we can find a club fit therefore I choose 3S as
'Minor Suit Stayman'. If partner does not hold four card club sup****t
I will , with reluctance, have to stay out of this possibly making
diamond slam, 'cause there is some risk involved in finding some
serious amount of 'garbage' in spades. There is also the chance of
catching partner with something like Kxxx-Axx-AK-AQxx, where 7C, if
everything goes well, makes.
