Either red suit may be into AQ, but then I expect any red losers in dummy
to 
go on spades so maybe that is not a problem?

However the bad trump break may prevent drawing trumps, ca****ng spades and

ruffing a red card so maybe it is.  On balance I lead a spade and hope
there 
is a red suit loser and my partner has enough clubs to stop declarer
drawing 
them and still having one left to ruff the red loser.
