A typical mishap in pairs. Does it make sense to forego the 2♣ Stayman question and simply bid 3NT? There is not much ruffing value opposite to a 1NT opening, and you have enough points to be brave with your shady diamond King. But, if opener has the ♠Q instead of the ♦Q, You might lose control in diamonds easily. After all, you miss two aces. Maybe it is a matter of style.
In 4♠ , however, you have to watch out for a singleton after the likely lead of the ♥10. If you induce from the singleton that East is longer in spades than West and consequently more likely to hold the ♠Q, you did well. The next best solution is not to finesse in trump. I would chose this solution in teams. In pairs, you should dare to find the ♠Q.
♠ - ♥ - ♦ - ♣
