Chasing the vulnerable game bonus

In a team match, some exuberant bidding lands you in a reasonable spot:

 

LHO leads the K: 2, 4...? What's your plan? Opps are playing UDCA.

EDIT: Sorry something was missing. Diagram now correct.

It would be nice to make it with Kx and AQ offside, by extracting all of LHO's clubs then endplaying him with a heart. However, I can't see a way to do that.

 

Suppose I duck the club, win the next one, ruff a diamond, ruff a club, cash A, and lead another diamond. If LHO has four clubs, he can ruff in and exit with his last club, giving me a ruff and discard but not giving me another trick. If LHO has only three clubs, that makes him 6223, so he can ruff in and give his partner a spade ruff.

 

At the moment my best plan is to take a spade finesse.

 

Edit: I can do it if LHO is 4234: duck the club, win the next one, A, diamond ruff, club ruff, A, diamond ruff, club ruff, diamond ruff, club ruff, exit with a heart.
