Look at that, partner has the K!
I would rate it likely that either partner or opener has the K, both are fine.
More in general, they rate (the way I read the 1S bid) to have 21+ of the 32 missing points and nothing suggests either is short in diamonds.

Of course partner is in a better position to judge how my diamond call fits with his hand and I trust him to bid accordingly.
Agreed.
