Lets find partner's suit.

Either S8 or Dx.

They didn't bid Stayman so the major looks better than the minor.

On the other hand if partner hasn't overcalled. Diamonds stands a better 
chance of find the suit breaking 4333 as opposed to a spade finding it 
breaking 5332. A 4432 break isn't likely to help partner.

So which one? Let's apply rule of thumb - which card is nearest my 
thumb?
