bad contract, unusual lead

[Mbodell]

[hv=d=s&v=b&n=sj8haq4dj93cakq98&s=s43hj653dak85cj52]133|200|Scoring: IMP

P - P - 1♣* - P: any 16+

1♠* - X - P* - P: gf (8+ points & 2+ controls), balanced or both reds; relay

1NT* - P - 2♣* - P: 3334 or 3343 or some 4432 with same color 4s; relay

2♥* - P - (tank) 3nt - all pass: 2443[/hv]

 

Opening lead by West is 7♥?!

 

Context is 6 team round robin with 5 board rounds, weak field, but this round is against the other decent team.

 

Should you play low from board on trick 1, or should you win the A and hope to develop your 9th trick in diamonds (several interesting lines in diamonds based on guessing the split and the position of the Q and/or T)?
