No matter how much we try to reduce bridge to rules and guidelines we will never get rid of the judgement factor. With this hand you definitely have 3 fast tricks for partner. In theory he can take 6 of his own, so 3 should be the right contract. BUT, maybe he could ruff a in your dummy?

Fortune favors the bold so you bid 4 . . . and live happily ever after.
