Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

Scoring: MP
You and partner read 4♥, after east overcalled 1♠
LHO led the 6♠ to east's ace, and threw the 4♠ under the K. A small ♠ was ruffed by west, and overruffed in dummy. You lost the diamond finesse, then west exited a small heart:
6♠ T♠ A♠ 3♠
K♠ 7♠ 4♠ 2♠
5♠ Q♠ 3♥ K♥
4♦ 3♦ Q♦ K♦
4♥ Q♥ 5♥ 2♥

If I followed this correctly and since it is MP you should try for 5 by playing a ♦ to the A and try to draw the remaining trump by a leading a ♥ to the J followed by the J♦ hopefully dropping the T

Would only be for 4 (you've lost 2♠, 1♦ already), but yes.
After the hand, declarer announced that he should have made it. I didn't think so at the time, but as it turns out, he was right.
