Your lead from 9642 76 J975 AQ6?
I waffled between a trump and a spade. I ended up leading a trump.

First trick goes 6 Q K A. Great, it's not clear he has a fast entry to dummy for the heart finesse.
Declarer plays D3, 5 Q A. Partner cashes SA then SK. I followed the 9 and then the... 6!
Now we lost our spade ruff because my spade should be suit preference, showing partner where my entry is. I allowed 3H to make 4.
Blergh.
Re making an unfortunate lead, Oscar Hammerstein once wrote: "Never have I asked an August sky, 'Where has last July gone?'" Nuff said. And yes, the S2 (suit preference) would have been better at trick 4.
