After the lead and the diamond continuation you count your winners (without doing any work) and you have 4 Spades, 1 Heart 2 Diamonds (now) and 1 Club. You will need to generate one xtar tricks to get home. And it looks like the club finesse can produce the 9^th tricks. As you have very good control of all suits at the moment it cannot cost to lay down the Club Ace preparing to lead up to the Queen later. (still a finesse).

When you cash the club ace you get a very pleasant surprize -  the King falls. Now your 9 tricks are in the bag  and you cash out. If the opponents don’t unblock their suits you might even get a second club trick if East is left on lead at the end with a lower club than yours.
