Middle, Up, Down. You'd play your highest in the second round.
hmmm
the 9, even the 8 seems an AWFULLY large spot to be wasting on the second round of the suit just to give count.
Leading from a suit without an honor

If you can't afford to play it, you don't.
Anyway, that's appears to be an argument for playing MUD rather than top-of-nothing. If you find out at trick four that the nine is an important card, it's undesirable to have led it at trick one.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Agree that in this context MUD > top of nothing, but still both inferior to third best. I suppose one could have the best of both worlds with mud, following slowly low to the second round to show three, and in tempo to confirm doubleton.
