The choice is between pass and 3NT, I guess pass is most likely given you a plus score.
With kind regards

pass!!!

I mean if we're going to gamble 3N, why not gamble 6N at least it's a better reward!!!

having no club stop is a serious defect to bidding 3n (Where did the 6N thought come from opposite a passed hand?) My main concern is missing an easily making 5 or 6 diamonds while settling for maybe 300 in 3cx. I would make peace with myself and
throw the

5d

card on the table knowing that at the very least partner will not expect me to have a club control for such bidding (else 4c followed by 5d).

partner being a passed hand is likely to be pretty pure, so bidding 3nt (or 4 if he were unlimited) in expectation of a club honour seems like a bad idea.

so just pass and collect 300 or so.
