It looks as though your best chance is to make a trump as well as a minor suit trick - if partner does have two natural minor suit tricks they are unlikely to be running away anyway. If partner had dropped heartJ at trick two you would have been confident about obtaining a diamond ruff immediately, but heart2 suggests that clubA is partner's likely winner, so maybe you should switch to a club?
