The opponents lead   ©5 your play in 4ª

 

If you go at this hand like a bull in a china shop and draw trumps prematurely  you will be a trick short at the end having the same 8 tricks that you started with.

After winning the first trick you may play just one round of trumps, before ruffing 2 Clubs in dummy, the short hand.

After cashing a top trump play a club to the Ace and ruff a club. Come back to hand via a Heart ruff in order to ruff another Club. Now you can return to hand with one more Heart ruff before drawing trumps. You will amass 6 trump tricks, 1 Heart, 1 Club and two Club ruffs.
