INTERESTING HEART COMBINATION

It appears you as declarer need a fourth Club trick to make this 6 Diamond slam. Or do you?

WNES
1
2(12(2)4♠(3)5♣(4)
Pass6
(1) Michaels, showing five-five in the majors. West would probably pass if vulnerable. 
(2) Showing Diamond support and a stopper in Hearts.
(3) East knows it’s a big double fit, so doesn’t hold back, choosing Spades as the suit he wants West to lead.
(4) Ace showing control bid.
