~ spade fit, heart shortage

Although partner has passed originally and is short in hearts surely he has some decent spade values, so a blast at 6spade seems a reasonable shot.

West leads heartK and you are relieved to see dummy's trump holding and further delighted when both opponents follow to spadeA.

How do you play?
